History
"A more riveting history will be hard to find."
— Booklist
Originally written in 1913 by Daisy Corning Spedden as a Christmas present for her son, this delightful story recounts the travels and adventures of the Spedden family through the eyes of Polar, a stuffed toy bear. Popular with readers of all ages, Polar the Titanic Bear opens a window on a lost Edwardian world — including the Titanic disaster, which both Polar and the Speddens survived.
