Rescuing the Spectacled Bear

Both wildly funny and moving -- a journal of Stephen Frys bid to rescue Perus endangered spectacled bears. Spectacled Bear: The spectacled bear is small and dark ranging in colour from black to brown and a few have a reddish tinge. It has distinctive circular or semicircular creamy white markings on the face around the eyes reminiscent of spectacles. Stephen Fry: Large unwieldy and with a distinctive bent nose and characteristic rumbling tones. Wide-buttocked from hours of sitting at writing desks and on barstools. It has been a personal mission of Stephen Frys to draw the worlds attention to this endangered species. A BBC television programme of Frys Peru trip was broadcast on New Years Day 2002 and a follow-up programme was made when he went back to Peru and helped to rescue a mate for the first young bear. This is his diary of the experience. It is packed with beautiful colour pictures of Stephen bears and Peru and it is of course wildly funny. Stephen Fry is set to become the Diane Fossey of the bear world. All author proceeds will go to Bear Rescue.
