在戰爭的時代,人與熊的真實故事。
Harry Colebourn是來自加拿大緬尼托巴省首府溫尼伯Winnipeg的年輕獸醫,一次大戰期間擔任軍中獸醫照料馬匹,途中救了一隻被捕獵的小熊,取名為Winnie(取自家鄉Winnipeg)。Winnie跟著士兵們搭船從加拿大到英國,加入軍旅生活,在緊張的軍旅途中有這麼一隻活潑又天真的小熊相伴,對人類而言很能舒緩緊繃的情緒。直到軍隊必須前往更遙遠的法國前線,為了Winnie的安全Harry決定將牠送離戰區,到倫敦動物園展開新生活。也意味著兩人的離別...
一個故事的結束,也是另一個新故事的開始;一位名叫Christopher的小男孩最愛到動物園拜訪Winnie,也將牠的玩具熊命名為Winnie。Christopher的爸爸就是英國知名作家艾倫·亞歷山大·米恩(A. A. Milne),寫下了維尼與兒子的故事“Winnie the Pooh”(1926),從此Winnie-the-Pooh成為英國兒童文學史上,不,應該說是全世界最受歡迎的熊!
更感人的是,本書就是最初救了真熊Winnie的獸醫Harry的曾孫女所寫的,這是真的喔!"The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear"!
In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian on his way to tend horses in World War I, followed his heart and rescued a baby bear. He named her Winnie, after his hometown of Winnipeg, and he took the bear to war.Harry Colebourn's real-life great-granddaughter tells the true story of a remarkable friendship and an even more remarkable journey--from the fields of Canada to a convoy across the ocean to an army base in England...And finally to the London Zoo, where Winnie made another new friend: a real boy named Christopher Robin.Before Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear named Winnie. And she was a girl!
