Even the most tyrannical of despots or the most scholarly of geniuses probably had a 'Mister Cuddles' or 'Big Ted' at some point in their childhood. As the book's title suggests, this is a collection of bears that could have belonged to the rich and famous. Whether it's politicians, heads of state, artists, spiritual leaders, inventors, revolutionaries, entertainers or entrepreneurs, the teddy bears reflect the personalities/traits of their owners. Comedy writer Mark Leigh has written for Jonathan Ross and Rory Bremner, and worked with Chris Tarrant, Rolf Harris and Roy Chubby Brown, among others. So he was pretty well-placed to write 'Teddy Bears of the Rich and Famous'. Co-written with his son Barney, 17, the book is a collection of 48 pictures of imagined bears that could have belonged to the rich and famous. Whether it's politicians, inventors, entertainers or entrepreneurs, the fictional bears attempt to reflect the personalities of their owners. Borat's bear wears a mankini; David Beckham's bear sports Armani underpants and Simon Cowell's wears trousers that go up to his waist. And, of course, Van Gogh's teddy has just one ear.
