Paddington storytelling (27/08/2011)
Paddington Bear is such a familiar, lovable character. We see him in Hong Kong on buses, in convenience stores and on merchandise. But do you know where this marmalade-loving bear is from? And why he is called Paddington? Why do ordinary things become extraordinary when Paddington is around?
Come and join us on 27 August 2011 at our storytelling to find out why Paddington has been loved for over 50 years all over the world.

Michael Bond is the author of over 100 books, many of which are for children. He was born in Berkshire, U.K. in 1926. He starting writing whilst in the army in 1947. His inspiration for Paddington came from a small toy bear left on a toy shop shelf which he bought as a stocking filler for his first wife one Christmas Eve. He was awarded OBE in 1997 for his services to children's literature.
