by Dare Wright (Author)
It was summertime, and Edith and The Bears were on a farm in the country. Little Bear wanted Edith to go fishing with him. Edith had her heart set on owning a pony and she couldn't think about anything else. Then late one night, Edith woke up and saw a wild black pony running in the moonlight beneath her window. Her mind was made up. Somehow, she and Little Bear were going to tame that pony and make him their own. But the pony, Midnight, had other ideas, and he ended up leading the two on quite a chase before they finally became friends.
Author Biography
Dare Wright (1914-2001) was a fashion model and photographer based in New York City. In 1957, she used her childhood doll Edith and two teddy bears as the subjects of her first book The Lonely Doll. The combination of mesmerizing black and white photographs and simple, eloquent text made the book an immediate success and earned it a place on The New York Times Best Seller list along with Dare Wright's next Lonely Doll book, Holiday For Edith And The Bears. Edith And Midnight is the ninth book in the series featuring Edith, Little Bear and Mr. Bear. Originally published in 1978, it was photographed on a working farm near Walton, New York, where Edith and the Bears could fish in mountain streams and romp in verdant valleys and pastures. All of the photographs in this book have been reproduced from Dare Wright's original negatives that she developed in the tiny darkroom of her New York City apartment.
