Loving… Edward Bear & the Very Long Walk

Originally posted: May 12, 2008

“Edward Bear and the Very Long Walk” is a haunting monomyth of a very familiar bear set in a post-apocalyptic future. Tag along with Edward Bear as he sets out on his “incredible journey” in an effort to “save the children”! Determined to achieve his goal, Edward Bear must endure many heart-wrenching tribulations. Edward Bear’s remarkable dedication to the children continues right up to the last sigh of this hero’s tale.
