I must admit that it is hard to pin down a favourite character in the Rupert the Bear stories. They are all so quintessentially of their own kind. They illustrate a world of innocence and safety, in which there are no fears and security is built-in. The stories are wonderful expressions of a comfortable fantasy in which there are adventures to be had and unusual characters, some animals and some people. They are all part of a culture which is now rapidly vanishing. As they are so wonderfully-crafted, however, we owe it to succeeding generations to enjoy the joys of the childhood we had, so that they can pass it on to future generations!
