We should all have a marmalade sandwich in honour of his creator.”Īs well as Paddington, Bond created characters including Olga da Polga and A Mouse Called Thursday along with a series of novels for adults, featuring the detective Monsieur Pamplemousse.

It was wonderful he could continue writing until the end,” she said.

Jankel said it was incredible that her father was still writing up until his death.
