Michael Bond began chronicling Paddingtonâs adventures in his first book, A Bear Called Paddington, published in 1958. Fortunately, bears donât need much encouragement, and Paddington has since filled the pages of twelve further novels, a variety of picture books, and many other projects written for the young at heart.
R. W. Alley has illustrated a number of books featuring Paddington Bear. He lives in Barrington, Rhode Island, with his wife, author ZoÃĢ B. Alley.
