Summary: The bestselling author of "The Fan Man" and "E.T.: The Extraterrestrial" does it again--with the story of Hal Jam, a big black bear who finds a manuscript under a tree in the Maine woods, dons a suit and tie, and heads off to the big city to seek his fame and fortune. "The Bear Went Over the Mountain" captures the zeitgeist of the 1990s dead on in a delicious bedtime story for grownups.
