Writer books Beertje Paddington passed away

Michael Bond, the author of the books about Beertje Paddington, died at the age of 91.

That reports his publisher Wednesday.

Bond was known by all the stories about Paddington, a brown bear sent from South America to Great Britain and found by a family on the same metro station.

The first book about the famous bear appeared in 1958. In 2015 Bond wrote his last story about Paddington: Love From Paddington. In total, about 35 million books were sold on the bear.
