Paddington Gets Waterboarded

I used to love those books. 

Paddington, the bear from Peru, will be arrested and interrogated over his immigration status in a book marking his 50th birthday.

Paddington Here and Now, due to be published in June 2008, is set around the bear’s home at 32 Windsor Gardens, Notting Hill, west London.

It will mark the 50th anniversary of his debut in A Bear Called Paddington.

Author Michael Bond, 83, who lives in London, said while the world had changed Paddington remained the same.

This will be the first book about the marmalade-loving bear to be published since Paddington Takes the Test came out in 1979.

1. You can still love the old books without hating the new ones.

   Me - I really really loathe what Disney has done with Winnie The Pooh in the last twenty years.  But I look at my bookshelf and the original works are still there.
