This is a timeless tale that has a beginning in 1951. This is the time in Ireland when the British were gone but not their imprint and scars left from 800 years of rule, still fresh, though the Irish never gave up or gave in. Vestiges of the past and glimpses of the cosmopolitan future paint a mosaic on the country. At this time in history, Ireland had not been electrified except in the big cities. Dubliners referred to the country folks as 'Muck Savages' and while condescending, there was a realization in the populace that there indeed was a layer of smoke and dirt on the interior of their small dark cottages once they got electricity. Life in Dublin is hard scrabble without a clear upward or outward path.
It is a story of a young man, after finding his true love, loses it through no fault of his own. He dedicates his everything he knows and doesn't know, to regain it. Exploring hidden worlds surrounding us and calling upon these other worlds and entities in an effort to find out what happened in his own. This comes with certain risks and expectations that often do not align with reality or the outcome.
Whilst this is happening, this is also an unauthorized biography of the world's most famous bear and the people who knew him.
