"So we'll explore the origins of Oski, but also examine texts from different cultures, bear-related sagas from Iceland and the Scandinavian middle ages, a tale about polar bears in the Tower of London, a 19th century Danish novella called 'The Polar Bear,' a few Native American stories," she said. "Even Goldilocks."
