The Tales of Olga da Polga is an utterly charming children's book from 1971 by Michael Bond, an award-winning author more famous for his stories about Paddington Bear, who first made his appearance in 1958.

The Tales of Olga da Polga consists of thirteen short tales, with imaginative titles such as "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Guinea-Pig" and "The Night of the Moon Rockets". Aside from Paddington, Bond also created two other series: Olga da Polga (kicking off with 1973’s The Tales Olga da Polga) and Monsieur Pamplemousse, a culinary mystery series for adults. Bond's books were memorably illustrated by Danish artist Hans Helweg, who was also well known for his "pulp fiction" covers for Pan paperbacks.In the edition reviewed here, from 2011, there are humorous pen and watercolour wash illustrations by Catherine Rayner, who reports that she herself loved the stories when she was a child.

So yeah, I was really looking forward to this one, because I love guinea pigs (and other rodents as well) and I just love it when books are about them.

I liked that we got to see two sides of her personality, her adventurous side, and her more vulnerable side. These stories, however, all feature Olga da Polga, a self-important, mischievous and imaginative guinea pig, who loves telling wildly exaggerated tales about her experiences to her friends. Olga da Polga , a guinea pig has more tales to tell in a day than me, This story is both adventurous and funny. This collection was so popular when it was first published that it sparked a host of sequels, all of which you can be sure this reviewer will track down, and read with a big fat smile on her face.
