Product Description
The irresistible Paddington Bear, who was found on Paddington station, returns in this reissued novel, with a brand new cover design.
Paddington has a knack for ‘smelling out things’, and his sharp nose, supported by marmalade sandwiches, leads him into many adventures. Whether it’s lending a paw to a famous Russian ballet dancer, or serving baked elastic instead of ‘Baked Alaska’ this unforgettable bear is as trouble-prone and funny as ever!
Stories of Paddington Bear have delighted children all over the world for fifty years.
From the Back Cover
"Do you realise," said Mrs Brown, a few fays after Paddington had returned from visiting his aunt in Peru, "we haven't had a single disaster since he came back."
But Paddington soon makes up for lost time. The Stock Exchange, the ballet, the barber's, Mr Curry's kitchen... nothing is safe when Paddington gets to work.
