This festive season, enjoy Pins and Needles' heart-warming live stage show of the classic children’s book by Raymond Briggs, The Bear, featuring dazzling puppetry, delicious music and dozens of laughs. A used book that does show some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Very good items should not have writing or highlighting. Though he never planned to write for children, his innate gift for storytelling and subversive humour have made many of his books generational favourites. Yet the careful construction of the story, showing the growing friendship between snowman and boy, makes its sudden end more resonant and moving than this pragmatic explanation allows.
