Mary Plain ''Mary Plain'' is a bear character in British children's literature who figures in a series of novels based on her adventures. The character was created by the Welsh author Gwynedd Rae and first appeared in the book ''Mostly Mary'' in 1930. The last original book, ''Mary Plain's Whodunnit'', was published in 1965. The books were reissued as paperbacks in the 1970s, and new editions of ''Mostly Mary'' and ''All Mary'' were published in the 1990s. ==Characters and story== Mary Plain and her bear family feature in the stories, but the main characters are Mary and her human friend, the Owl Man. (The name refers to his spectacles.) He is kind and indulgent to Mary. He often takes her on outings. Mary and her friends can speak, but although anthropomorphic in that respect and in other aspects of their behaviour, the author is careful to point out that she is not a teddy bear. Similarly, although Mary learns to write (in rebuses) she does not wear clothes. Mary and her family live in the Bear Pits at Berne, in Switzerland. Mary's behaviour is much like that of a small child, with the Owl Man acting as a surrogate parent, guiding her through life and helping her out of trouble.
