Separating Novels from Picture books and other stories, also new novel

I also posted this on the Paddington Bear Wikipedia page.

I think the novels should be separate from the picture books. I am pretty sure that the last time I visited this page (and/or the author's Wikipedia page,) the books were separated by novels and picture books. According to the official site, there are 13 novels. http://www.paddingtonbear.com/booksthenovels.html 01. A Bear Called Paddington (1958) 02. More About Paddington (1959) 03. Paddington Helps Out (1960) 04. Paddington Abroad (1961) 05. Paddington At Large (1962) 06. Paddington Marches On (1964) 07. Paddington At Work (1966) 08. Paddington Goes To Town (1968) 09. Paddington Takes The Air (1970) 10. Paddington On Top (1974) 11. Paddington Takes The Test (1979) 12. Paddington Here and Now (2008) 13. Paddington Races Ahead (2012) (Missing from this article)

On the picture books, I don't know if the website has a complete listing, but they do break them down into four different eras, each with its own artist. Several of the books were re-illustrated by a later artist. For example, Paddington at the Tower included on the list twice, once in 1975, and once in 2012, yet other books are missing. One way to get a (somewhat?) complete list of these books would be to search Amazon by the illustrator's name, and check the box for 'Paddington' (series) or Michael Bond (author.) http://www.paddingtonbear.com/bookspicturebooks.html

There is also a category of 'other titles.' http://www.paddingtonbear.com/booksothertitles.html 68.97.202.205 (talk) 21:27, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

Authorship of The Herbs

I think it might improve the article if it could be added that Bond wrote The Herbs. The section sub-titled "Author" seems, to me, the most sensible place for this information to go. Vorbee (talk) 14:23, 28 June 2017 (UTC)
