This book is about Fred Bear and his magical and fantastical friends. Fred is a rather rotund and well-loved teddy bear with a torn ear, only one eye but very little fur. His friends include a ghost who would be afraid of his own shadow if he had one; a wizard who inhabits a scary castle, a group of fairy-folk, mischievous goblins, elves, gnomes and many others who reside in the Deep Dark Wood.
Fred Bear lives in an old farmhouse not far from the village of Little Twitchett accompanied by his dog, Beau, and Gordon - he's the Ghost. Being a lazy bear, Fred drives to and from the village - and to anywhere further than the end of his property - in a car that can fly.
The book contains several short stories and one long adventure as Fred searches for lost treasure.
