About YesterYear Books
UK post is working really well again now, and we are posting every day as usual. We have had an update from Royal Mail saying that even though passenger planes have been restricted, cargo planes are still flying, although (obviously) there may be some delays. We had turned off our international post but in light of this message, we have decided to trust the system. You can find an up to date list of restricted companies by googling Royal Mail Corona Virus. All post to Canada is very slow at the moment.Keep safe everyone,Sara xx

Michael Bond - the man behind Paddington Bear
"All the same ... it's a very important name. And I don't expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!"
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
