The Fool and the Dancing Bear par Pamela Stearns
A gem! Stearns creates a delightful and original world, full of humor and heart-ache.
Stearns is a sadly underrated author, with a fresh voice and a clear perspective of childhood.
I've no idea why this isn't more popular. The drawings are gorgeous, the action starts immediately, the themes of love, loyalty, honor, and resiliency are important but unobtrusively presented, there's plenty of humor, both satire and slapstick, etc. etc. If I were a child I'd give it five stars for sure. Boys might not want to be seen reading it, but if they read it for a book club, or with their families, they'll love it. Girls & boys alike will crush on Sir Rosemary.
The only reason I can't give it five stars is because I try real hard to reserve that rating for books I recommend widely, and I just can't see myself pushing either my teen son, or my husband who reads SF & thrillers, to read this. But everyone who is willing to read a juvenile fantasy will probably love this!

Stearns is certainly imaginative. I love the bears, both the drawings of them and their personalities, in the two books I've read. As a child I would have read this amusing adventure over and over again. But ultimately it's probably too quiet & subtle for most people, especially nowadays - it could not easily be made into a movie both effective and faithful. 3.5 stars.
