last updated 18 February 2025

Ten years ago, a scruffy sketch of a bear playing the piano sparked an idea that would change David Litchfield’s life forever. That doodle became The Bear and The Piano, a heartwarming tale that has resonated with readers worldwide, selling over a million copies and launching a successful series and an amazing career.

“Well, amazingly, it’s been 10 years since the publication of my first book The Bear & The Piano. I can’t quite believe it. It’s really whizzed by. We are planning a number of events throughout the year to celebrate the book and this will be kicking off with a very exciting event at Leister Square Theatre. I’ll also be heading out with the book during the summer going to a number of festivals, which are always fun.” - David Litchfield


“The biggest thing is the publication of a special 10 Year Anniversary edition of the book. A lot of work has gone into making the new edition really special.” - David Litchfield


Written and gorgeously illustrated by David Litchfield, the 10 year Anniversary edition of The Bear and the Piano published by Quarto is available now. Buy your copy here.
