Celebrating 100 years since the birth of Michael Bond, one of the most beloved authors of all time.
Enjoy the classic story of the bear from Darkest Peru who stowed away on a ship headed for England. He arrived at Paddington Station with nothing but a suitcase, a half-empty jar of marmalade and a label that read, "Please look after this bear. Thank you."
For six decades, stories of Paddington Bear have delighted children all over the world. Paddington is now a major movie star!
Michael Bond was born in Newbury, Berkshire on 13 January 1926 and educated at Presentation College, Reading. He served in the Royal Air Force and the British Army before working as a cameraman for BBC TV for 19 years. In 2015, Michael was awarded a CBE for his services to children’s literature, to add to the OBE he received in 1997. Michael died in 2017, leaving behind one of the great literary legacies of our time.
