Michael Bond was born in Newbury in 1926. On leaving school at the age of 14 he spent a year in a lawyers office before joining the BBC as an engineer. A Bear Called Paddington was first published in 1958.
Paddington Bear had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru when the Brown family first met him on Paddington Station. Since then their lives have never been quite the same.
Things just seem to happed to Paddington. Ordinary things become quite extraordinary when a certain bear is around!
This stunning gift edition is packed with tales of Paddington's misadventures. Read about the time that Paddington tries his paw at cooking or the occasion when he becomes a jockey for the day!
