A wonderful story for children and an allegory for adults about the
absurdity of war with an introduction and guide to the text by Lemony
Snicket.
Starving after a harsh winter, the bears descend from the mountains in
search of food and invade the valley below, where they face fierce
opposition from the army of the Grand Duke of Sicily. After many
battles, scrapes and dangers, the bears' reign is established over the
land, but their victory comes at a price.
