About the Author
On Christmas Eve, 1956, while working as a BBC cameraman, Michael Bond bought a small toy bear that had been left alone on a shelf in a London department store. Feeling sorry for it, he took it home for his wife and they named it Paddington as they were living near Paddington Station. He wrote some stories about the bear, just for fun, but soon found that he had a book on his hands. In 1958,
A Bear Called Paddington was published with many, many more stories to follow.
More than fifty years and many millions of books later, Paddington continues to touch the hearts of readers worldwide with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures.
Michael Bond still lives in London with his wife, Sue, and a guinea pig named Olga. In 1997 he was awarded the OBE for his services to children's literature.
R. W. Alley has illustrated a number of books featuring Paddington Bear, including Paddington Bear All Day and Paddington Bear Goes to Market. He lives in Rhode Island with his wife and their two children.
Zoë B. Alley is the author of There's a Wolf at the Door and There's a Princess in the Palace, both illustrated by her husband, R. W. Alley.
