E-text prepared by Marilynda Fraser-Cunliffe, Emmy, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "The Story of a Plush Bear" by Laura Lee Hope is a children's novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of a plush bear created in Santa Claus's workshop, emphasizing the enchanting world of toys that come to life when humans aren't watching. The main character is the titular Plush Bear, who experiences various escapades alongside other toys in Santa's workshop, during his time with an Eskimo boy, and ultimately during his journey to the Earth. The opening of the book transports readers to a snowy scene in Santa Claus's workshop, where various toys are enjoying a lively snowball fight, having come to life in the absence of humans. The Plush Bear joins the fun, displaying a jolly nature despite misconceptions about his identity. As the toys engage in playful antics, the workshop is disrupted by an unexpected visitor—a curious Eskimo boy who manages to take the Plush Bear away. This sets the stage for the bear's adventures as he navigates new settings ranging from the North Pole to a child's home, foreshadowing further escapades that reveal the magic of childhood imagination.
