Wednesday Cover Story: Monsieur Pamplemousse gets a makeover

Wednesday, October 12th, 2011

Michael Bond is adored by millions as the creator of Paddington Bear. I have a particular soft spot for the man as the creator of my favourite childhood guinea pig, Olga da Polga. And he is of course adored by us all at A&B and by his legion of fans for creating the inimitable Monsieur Pamplemousse mystery series.

And now we’re giving the Monsieur a makeover! And I’m truly tickled by the new look for the books.  So, here you go – a very first peek at the new design for the upcoming paperbacks of Monsieur Pamplemousse and the French Solution and Monsieur Pamplemousse and the Carbon Footprint.

Well done Christina (our brilliant designer)! I think they reflect the charm of the series perfectly! What do you blog followers think?

    Going Too Far, by Catherine Alliott. Susie: I rarely read 'girly' books but came across Alliott a few years ago. I've read 3 of her books thus far, and was delighted to spot this one for 30p in a charity shop. I've not opened it as yet but am hoping for another witty, grown-up, middle-class romcom, with lots of 4x4s and country houses!
