I liked that we got to see two sides of her personality, her adventurous side, and her more vulnerable side. Bond also wrote culinary mystery stories for adults featuring Monsieur Pamplemousse and his faithful bloodhound, Pommes Frites. In 2022, the BBC commissioned 13 episodes of a live-action TV series of Olga da Polga for CBeebies, featuring Julie Wilson Nimmo and Greg Hemphill. Gurney specialised in the treatment of guinea pigs, and treated Bond's guinea pig who was the inspiration for Olga.

Another main character is Graham, the tortoise, who dislikes being picked up and put upside down, just as Olga da Polga does.

I was so terribly glad for the humans that they didn't have to hear Olga's stories, but I felt sorry for the animals. Starting rumours, making up tall tales (which I truly didn't like and I was dreading them when they popped up), thinking she is so much more superior to anyone (and bragging about it), and much much more. Although Olga is initially jealous of them, as they are kept in Karen's room and seem to be her favourites, she quickly warms up to them. The housing, treatment and conditions Olga da Polga is kept in are ideal for a pet guinea pig, and clearly described as part of the story, and the animal's reactions to them are quite authentic. At Books2Door, we believe that reading is a fundamental skill that every child should have to help improve their vocabulary, grammar, and critical thinking skills.

His excellent book, "The Proper Care of Guinea Pigs" is the benchmark for owners and breeders, and also some vets. The real life Karen also features in the book as the character Karen Sawdust, who understands Olga da Polga better than her parents do, kind though they are. All of our books are 100% brand new, unread and purchased directly from the publishers in bulk allowing us to pass the huge savings on to you! The typical plot of each story is that something fairly ordinary happens to Olga, and she gives her animal friends a wildly exaggerated version of events, subsequently revealed to be untrue by what the humans say.

From the author of Paddington Bear, Michael Bond’s loveable guinea-pig has been charming readers for over 50 years. Our Non-Fiction Range includes: Academic, Photography, Audio books, Business, Cook Books, Craft Books, Health and Fitness Books, Mind, Body, Spirit (Tarot). Her home is now a large and airy hutch and it’s not long before she meets Noel the cat, Fangio the hedgehog, and Graham the tortoise.

Unlike Bond's more famous character, Paddington Bear, Olga is a teller of tall tales in the style of Baron Munchausen. Full details of your rights under the Distance Selling Regulations are available in the UK from your local Citizens' Advice Bureau or your Local Authority's Trading Standards Office. He is sly, and because he is free to enter and leave the house as he pleases, the other animals consider him to be knowledgeable about how the world works. Also interesting, for anyone who keeps guinea pigs, is the fact that Michael Bond became great friends with Peter Gurney, when he treated Karen's guinea pig, who had been the inspiration for Olga da Polga. He is sly and knowledgeable in the ways of the world, as he is free to enter and leave the house as he pleases.
