About the author
Michael Bond began chronicling Paddington’s adventures in his first book, A Bear Called Paddington, published in 1958. Fortunately, bears don’t 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.
Jim Broadbent, in addition to his stage work with the Royal Shakespeare Company, has starred in such films as The Crying Game, Bridget Jones' Diary, Topsy-Turvy, Moulin Rouge, and won an Oscar for his role in Iris.
