Michael Bond was born in Newbury in 1926. In 1958, his first children's book, A Bear Called Paddington was published. In 1983 he started writing adult fiction, with his first tale featuring Monsieur Pamplemousse and his faithful bloodhound, Pommes Frites. He sadly passed away in June 2017.'Not a page passes without a well-earned chuckle, a guffaw, or a fit of the giggles - a tribute indeed to Michael Bond, a cordon bleu master of the incongruous'. Strand Magazine 'Sure to please ... Absolutely hilarious' Good Book Guide 'An engaging mix of farce, detection and fine cuisine' The Times 'A delightful French frolic of a detective story' The Scotsman 'Monsieur Pamplemousse and his faithful dog Pommes Frites are true and original comic inventions' The Guardian 'A delicious caper featuring haute cuisine and dastardly doings in Paris, this is a lively, funny mystery.' Good Book Guide 'A delightful cross between whimsy and French farce ... The books have charm in abundance, sharp characterisation and gentle wit' Crime Review
