Synopsis

In this collection of short stories, Lichfield writes about one of the most interesting animals living in the mountains - the grizzly bear, the denizen of the forest-clad hills - which struck terror in the hearts of people living on the rugged slopes. These sensitive and heart-rending tales of brave hunters and ferocious bears are based on real-life incidents. Vividly narrated, the hair-raising anecdotes of the grizzly are sure to hold the reader's interest through the last page. These stories make for excellent re-telling to youthful campfire audiences.

It's not only the big kids among us who will find something to enjoy in this collection. Fanciful Bear Stories for Little Kids and Factual Bear Stories for Big Kids, Lichfield invites young readers and listeners to enter a magical world where their imagination can run wild as they play with pandas in the Himalayas and koalas in Australia.

This book is for the whole family and youth groups to enjoy together, promoting knowledge and values that parents will want to share with their children.

Biography

The author is my husband of 53 years and father to our nine sons and four daughters. He was raised on a cattle and sheep ranch in the beautiful Star Valley of Wyoming. He was a U.S. Marine, two years (1947-1949) in Tsingtao, China, during our letter-writing courtship. When he returned home, we married, and he obtained a B.S. and M.S., and went on to teach high school students for ten years.

During the time our children were growing up he made up imaginary bear stories to tell them at bedtime. I felt that they were good enough that others would enjoy them also.

He was a Management Analyst for the Air Force and became an author upon retiring. I prevailed upon him to include these bear stories among the ten books he is publishing. I invite you to enjoy these stories as our family has.
