This charming video reveals the story behind the creation of a unique children's book. Follow Fiona Garrick in her print shop, as she takes you along on a special journey of creation; whether writing, engraving, mixing ink colours, operating a 100-year-old printing press or hand binding, she treats every aspect of bookmaking with extraordinary skill and craft. In the era of the superstore and the media conglomerate, Garrick's work demonstrates that there is a place in a high-tech world for careful, contemplative creation. Combining storytelling with passion and artistry, Mr. Bear's Song is destined to become a classic.
