In a quiet woodland village, days are gentle, the neighbours kind, and every story begins with a warm hello. At the heart of it all is Kingswell Cottage, where Arthur Bear lives with his thoughtful relatives—Charles, Philip, and Hugh. Together with the local villagers, they share in the simple joys of daily life: building Secret Club Houses, gathering Honey and making candles, baking Apology Cookies, and sending penpal Letters through the forest post.

This lovingly collection features 24 heartwarming tales of friendship, fun, and the little lessons that grow along the way. From the excitement of the School Play Disaster to the coziness of the Rainy Day Fort, and from the laughter of the Wheelbarrow Race to the quiet magic of Arthur’s Gentle Garden Day, each story offers a peaceful pause and a reminder that kindness always finds a way home.

This delightful collection of rhyming tales brings the peaceful world of Kingswell to life, perfect for listeners ages 3–8, for family listening, bedtime wind-downs, or cozy afternoons, Kingswell Bears Collection of Tales is a timeless collection for children and grown-ups who believe in the power of community, care, and a good story well told.

Discover the joy of storytelling rooted in the seasons, and let the Kingswell Bears become a cherished part of your family’s bookshelf.
