In 1916, at the height of the First World Ware, a Canadian teddy bear travelled all the way to France in a care package destined for Lawrence Browning Rogers--a gift from his ten-year-old daughter, Aileen. Teddy returned home after a year but Mr. Rogers did not. Years later Mr. Rogers grand-daughter found Teddy, the letters and other war memorabilian inside a large family briefcase. All this is now in a glass display case at the Canadian War Museum. This book is about Teddy and the letters.
