Summary "The Laughing Bear and Other Stories" by Robert B. H. Bell is a collection of children's stories likely written in the early 20th century. The tales feature charming characters and rich narratives, including a young princess named Chonwa and her daring adventures with a bear that saves her from an abductor, setting the stage for themes of bravery and friendship. At the start of the collection, the story introduces Princess Chonwa, who finds herself in a perilous situation when a dark figure kidnaps her from the palace garden. Her mother, the queen, is attacked, but a brave bear intervenes, rescuing Chonwa and prompting her to follow the bear back to safety. This encounter leads her to confront the challenges of her royal duties, including an unwanted marriage, as she yearns for adventure and a return to her rescuer. The opening portion establishes a blend of fantasy and moral lessons, setting a whimsical tone for the stories that follow. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
