    About this ebook

    The garlic-laden winds of change are blowing through the vineyards of Burgundy. Under threat from the increasing use of pesticides is the helix pomotia: the humble snail, the main ingredient for escargot Bourgignon.

    Meanwhile, on the Canal de Bourgogne, Monsieur Pamplemousse is lecturing a group of international wine buffs on the fruits of the region, a task from which he is distracted by a Marilyn Monroe look-alike. It turns out that skulduggery among the vines will be the least of Monsieur Pamplemousse's worries.

    Author

    Michael Bond

    Michael Bond began chronicling Paddington’s adventures in his first book, A Bear Called Paddington, published in 1958. Fortunately, bears don’t need much encouragement, and Paddington has since filled the pages of twelve further novels, a variety of picture books, and many other projects written for the young at heart.

      Three Poems

      War is coming but my neighbors can’t believe it. I ring their doorbells and tell them: maybe not this May, but next June at the latest. They stare straight past me, at the maze of lawns, the sprinklers, a kid on a bike hurling the Globe onto porches.

      M. Pamplemousse, former Surete agent, now a food critic for Le Guide, a Michelin-type publication, is assisted by his bloodhound, Pommes Frites, on many food and wine tasting trips. This one takes place at the Director's request: a holiday tour through the vineyards of Burgundy on the Canal de Bourgogne. As dogs are not permitted, Pommes Frites will have to walk the towpath beside the barge, a plot to help him trim down. Bond's stories of M. Pamplemousse and Pommes Frites are excellent for the description of food and wine alone. With zany comedy thrown in, the action becomes more of slapstick farce than murder mystery.Bond is well-known for his Paddington Bear stories.
