The Deliverance Of Dancing Bears

The Deliverance of Dancing Bears is a beautifully illustrated contemporary fable about a dancing bear whose dreams of freedom keep her spirit alive despite the pain and degradation of her existence. Into this setting comes a noble-minded peasant who liberates the bear and reminds onlookers that the dignity of all living creatures must be respected. This is a book for young philosophers whose emerging awareness of the complexity of life is leading them to consider some of its great good and evil, power and impotence, freedom and captivity. This award-winning story begins with the power of hope and ends with the challenge of liberation.
