by Michael Bond (Author), Peggy Fortnum (Illustrator)
"Bears like Paddington are very rare," says Mrs Bird, "and a good thing too, or it would cost us a small fortune in marmalade." Classic adventures of the bear from Darkest Peru. As Paddington says himself, "Things happen to me - I'm that sort of bear." With his attempts at home decorating, detective work and photography, the Brown family soon find that Paddington causes his own particular brand of chaos.
