A beautifully illustrated picture book, written in rhyme, about a day which was planned forever that turns out very badly for Tedbury, a small, soft, golden-yellow teddy bear. Alas, he has been forgotten at the park. Seasons come and go, from summer to the snows of winter to the rain in spring - Tedbury is out in all weather. Creature visitors come and go. They try to help; they ask him, "Who are you? Where did you come from?" Sadness ekes from his black, shoe-button eyes. Won't somebody stop and help him? Tedbury is forlorn until a badger wriggles him onto his back and takes him on an adventure through a lovely little town. This charming book is set in Tenbury Wells, Worchestershire, England, where Jean lived with her daughter, Maureen, for a couple of years.

"In this first book-length examination of the SSPCK, Margaret Connell Szasz explores the origins of the Scottish Society's policies of cultural colonialism and their influence on two disparate frontiers. Drawing intriguing parallels between the treatment of Highland Scots and Native Americans, she incorporates multiple perspectives on the cultural encounter, juxtaposing the attitudes of Highlanders and Lowlanders, English colonials and Native peoples, while giving voice to the Society's pupils and graduates, its schoolmasters, and religious leaders."--BOOK JACKET.
