Sylvie Huet rediscovered her own childhood teddy at the age of 49
in a Paris fleamarket. Until then he had lived only as a memory and
in family photographs. Her discovery began a trail of exploration,
revealing childhood memories and family secrets. The bears that
feature are aged between 44 and 103 years old - worn, stitched, and
scarred, yet seemingly indestructible. Mostly they are anonymous,
but several have celebrity status. Amongst those included are Nana,
Jean Paul Gaultier's bear with the cone bra; Grayson Perry's
'personal god' Alan Measles; Tomi Ungerer's bear, who inspired his
famous children's book Otto; and Jubilee, a stuffed chimpanzee and
the childhood companion of Dame Jane Goodall, now considered the
world's foremost expert on chimpanzees. Sylvie Huet's portraits
give the bears a dignity that befits their status in the eyes of
their owners. Included are archive photographs, stories from the
past, accounts of meetings and literary extracts.
