This is a limited Artist edition of The Ice Bear which will be signed by the author, Jackie Morris.
The Ice Bear, originally published in 2010, has been re-imagined in this deluxe large-format edition. This new edition portrays each of Jackie’s paintings as originally intended, displaying the whole of each painting, printed on a smooth off-white uncoated paper.
This magical tale set in Jackie Morris’s stunning icy landscapes tells a tale of tolerance and understanding, and reminds us of our duty to take care of this world’s wild creatures. Jackie’s glorious illustrations and lyrical text now matched by the lavish production values of this book.
In distant, icy, northern lands, the ice bear has given birth to two tiny cubs. As she sleeps, Raven the trickster steals one cub away, dropping him as a human child in the path of a hunter and his wife. The childless hunter and his wife rejoice at this wonderful gift and hold their new-found child close. As the years pass, the ice bear never forgets her second cub and pines for what she has lost to humans.
‘For years I was told that the books couldn’t be produced in the large format because bookshops wouldn’t take them. Quiet Music proved this wrong, and in hand selling of that book it’s wonderful to see how people hug it to themselves.’Jackie Morris
An internationally best-selling author, artist and illustrator, Jackie Morris has over thirty years’ experience in writing and illustrating books. Amongst her current work, East of the Sun has been nominated for the Carnegie Medal, Little Evie in the Wild Wood and Something About a Bear have been nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal.
‘Morris’ picture books aren’t things to be gobbled whole, like a greedy dragon might. But ones to be lingered over, books to sweep your hands over, be spell-bound by.’ Eleanor Howe, New Welsh Review

My purchase from you has arrived promptly. This book is so stunning! Have purchased it for a 40th birthday present and now can hardly bear (!) to part with it. The book is visually beautiful and so pleasing to hold. Looking forward to reading it quietly tonight. Lovely Jackie Morris cards too. Thank you. Lesley Millard

I have the original edition which is extraodinarily beautiful. I bought 2 copies of the new artist versions. One to read and share the second for late night wine and selfish appreciation. The art, story and printwork are outstanding. A beautiful marriage. This version is a bit like the switch from cassette to CD, you notice subtle differences and it regenerates interest all over again. Buy it. Buy 2. One for yourself and one for thise you really care about.
