Mr DeBrett recently spent a much deserved rest in the Museum of Childhood, Lancashire. Mr DeBrett is a well-travelled teddy bear named after a military family who took him around the world, principally all over India. After Indian Independence, he returned with the family to England the joined the Museum for a rest and a little re-stuffing.
