The Adventures of a Bear, and a Great Bear too Alfred Elwes

Yes, it is an "at home" to which I am going to introduce you; but not the at-home that many of you-I hope all of you-have learnt to love, but the at-home of a bear. No carpeted rooms, no warm curtains, no glowing fireside, no pictures, no sofas, no tables, no chairs; no music, no books; no agreeable, cosy chat; no anything half so pleasant: but soft moss or snow, spreading trees, skies with ever-changing, tinted clouds, some fun, some rough romps, a good deal of growling, and now and then a fight.
