A bear on the lam
The Guardian has just posted word of a new Paddington Bear book to be published this June to commemorate a 50th anniversary. Much has changed in the past 50 years and now apparently Paddington’s citizenship is brought into question.
Personally I’m with Guardian blogger Anna Pickard, I always thought Paddington was a pretty stand up sort of bear and if he can’t get landed immigrant status what hope do the riff raff in other children’s stories have.
