Michael Bond
Thomas Michael Bond, CBE (born 13 January 1926) is an English author, most celebrated for his Paddington Bear series of books. Bond was awarded a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours 2015.〔("Birthday Honours 2015", BBC News, 13 June 2015 )〕
==Early life==
Bond was born in Newbury and raised in Reading, Berkshire, where his visits to Reading Station to watch the ''Cornish Riviera Express'' go steaming through started a love of trains. His father was a manager for the post office.〔 He was educated at Presentation College, a Catholic school in Reading. His time there was unhappy, not least because the Catholic brothers who ran the school disciplined the boys with rubber straps. He told UK newspaper ''The Guardian'' in November 2014 that his parents had chosen the school “for the simple reason my mother liked the colour of the blazers. She didn’t make many mistakes in life but that was one of them”. Consequently, he left education aged fourteen, despite his parents’ wishes for him to go to university. World War II was under way and he went to work in a solicitor's office for a year and then as an engineer's assistant for the BBC.
In February 1943, Michael Bond survived an air raid in Reading. The building in which he was working collapsed under him, killing 41 people and injured many more.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Paddington Bear writer's wartime Reading Podcast now online )〕 Shortly afterwards he volunteered for aircrew service in the Royal Air Force as a 17-year-old but he was discharged after suffering from acute air sickness.〔( Michael Bond at jrank ). Retrieved 2 November 2014〕 He then served in the Middlesex Regiment of the British Army until 1947.
