MEDIA REVIEWS
Praise for the Paddington series:
'I've always had great respect for Paddington... He is a British institution.'Stephen Fry
'Paddington has joined Pooh as one of the great bears of English children's literature.'Teacher
'Michael Bond's accident-prone bear...has become one of the most enduring of children's characters.'Bookseller
Michael Bond
Sometime BBC cameraman Michael Bond was inspired by a last-remaining puppet bear on Selfridges shelf and memories of wartime evacuees to create possibly the most beloved character in children's literature. Paddington debuted in 1958's A Bear Called Paddington,returning in a number of stories that Bond continued to craft until his passing in 2017. A BBC animated series elevated Bond's concept to almost cult-like status. Aside from Paddington,Bond also created two other series: Olga da Polga (kicking off with 1973's The Tales Olga da Polga) and Monsieur Pamplemousse,a culinary mystery series for adults.
