Description

Michael Bond's life story is one of unexpected twists and turns. The author of the beloved Paddington series never intended to be a children's writer, but instead, he wrote about his experiences during World War II and other stories that came his way. It was during a moment of inspiration, searching for a big story to write full-time, that a stuffed bear on his typewriter caught his eye. This chance encounter led to the creation of A Bear Called Paddington, a story that has become a story of acceptance and belonging. Author Rosanne Tolin reveals the fascinating story behind the creation of Paddington, drawing on Michael Bond's life and the world history that shaped his experiences. This biography brings a new perspective to the beloved series, exploring how 1950s immigrant culture and the author's own life were woven into the story of a little bear from Peru.
