As well as Paddington, Michael Bond was also the creator of the inimitable Olga da Polga, guinea-pig, teller of tall tales and all-round irresistible character.

With a new TV series coming to CBeebies, publisher Oxford has published the stories as lovely paperback collections.

This is the first in the series and also features Catherine Rayner’s gorgeous black and white illustrations. It describes how Olga comes to move in with the Sawdust family – as she calls them – and to meet her friends Noel the cat, Fangio the hedgehog and Graham the tortoise. There’s excitement as she wins a rosette in a show, encounters the ‘Surrey Puma’ (almost), suffers an injury and recovers thanks to the Sugar Plum Fairy. Each story is a perfect adventure and, as life with Olga is anything but dull, each one is full of incident and drama. Indeed, thanks to their small star, these make hugely entertaining reading.
