- Synopsis
- "From the very beginning, there was not the slightest doubt that Olga da Polga was the sort of guinea pig who would go places." And just as soon as she had picked an appropriately exotic name for herself, Olga did go, abandoning the pet shop for excitement with the Sawdust People (guinea pigs' name for humans). Olga is delighted with the move as she discovers new situations and friends that encourage and illuminate her remarkable talents. Olga's imaginative tall tales finally find an appreciative audience in Noel the cat; her spirit of adventure is unleashed by Fangio the hedgehog and the dreadful Surrey Puma; and her vanity and self-indulgence are satisfied by a contest, a traumatic accident, and a generous midnight visitor. Michael Bond, creator of the beloved Paddington Bear, has written an enchanting and very funny book about the incredible adventures of a vain, inventive and altogether fetching guinea pig.
