Poul Anderson and Gordon R. Dickson's Hoka stories follow the Hokas, a teddy-bear-like alien race who enthusiastically role-play human genres and history, to comic effect. Beginning with the linked collection Earthman's Burden (1957) and its sequel Hoka!, the stories and the novel Star Prince Charlie were later gathered into omnibus editions such as Hoka! Hoka! Hoka! and The Sound & the Furry.
