"[A] beautiful and haunting account of a dancing bear traveling through a pre-modern European countryside with a loving companion known only as the Bearman...The sly reference to the rarity of true kindness is an early hint of the surprising and sometimes dark places this powerful parable will take us." --The San Francisco Chronicle, "A beautiful, unusual deceptively simple tale of two friends: a talking, dancing bear, Brown One; and the Bearman...Pen-and-ink illustrations are in harmony with the text and children of almost any age should be caught up in this deeply moving story." -- Library Journal , Starred Review "A folktale, humble and profound, about a love which exists of and for itself, as a gentle counterpart to indifferent nature and endless time. This is a such a lovely book." -- Natalie Babbitt, The New York Times Book Review "The power of good over evil is interpreted with touching simplicity and good humor." -- Booklist "[A] beautiful and haunting account of a dancing bear traveling through a pre-modern European countryside with a loving companion known only as the Bearman...The sly reference to the rarity of true kindness is an early hint of the surprising and sometimes dark places this powerful parable will take us." -- The San Francisco Chronicle, "[A] beautiful and haunting account of a dancing bear traveling through a pre-modern European countryside with a loving companion known only as the Bearman...The sly reference to the rarity of true kindness is an early hint of the surprising and sometimes dark places this powerful parable will take us." -- The San Francisco Chronicle

Synopsis
The author of "The Bear on the Motorcycle" and "Billy's Balloon Ride" presents this story about a friendship between man and beast. The man understands the language of bears, and the two travel together from village to village, performing for all. Illustrations., "Well, there was a man once, and he had a bear . . ." begins this story about a life long friendship between man and beast. The Bearman and the bear understand each other. Together they travel all over the country, "a part of the highway like the knotty old apple trees and whitehorn bushes," as they go from village to village, where they play music and juggle and dance and the children are always happy to see them. At night they sleep in the open, and before they do the Bearman tells a story and plays a beautiful melody on his horn for the bear and for God, a melody so beautiful that all the animals in the forest raise their heads and the leaves themselves stop rustling and listen. And yet the Bearman and the bear have enemies: the jealous members of the Duda family, who are thieves and tricksters; and even more than that, the dogs. And when the Bearman dies, the bear must retreat into the wilderness for safety--until, after many adventures, he meets a new friend: a boy. "The Bear and the People" is a lovely parable of friendship and courage and reverence for the natural world. It is a tale that is as exciting as it is touching and profound, and it will delight children and parents alike., 'The Bear and the People' is a lovely parable of friendship and courage and reverence for the natural world. It is a tale that is as exciting as it is touching and profound, and it will delight children and parents alike."
