About this title

From the Back Cover:

The stories of Paddington Bear have delighted children all around the world for over 50 years.

"After all," he explained, "it is not every day we have a bear staying in St. Castille."

The Browns are going on holiday to France, and Paddington is in charge of the "eyetinnery." He has the whole trip planned down to the last marmalade sandwich, but somehow he takes the family far off the beaten path. With Paddington in charge, one should always plan on the unexpected.

About the Author:

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.
