First published in 1964, Paddington Marches On is the sixth novel chronicling the adventures of Michael Bond's beloved classic character, Paddington Bear.   Paddington’s earnest attempts to help always lead to the most wonderful chaos.

Michael Bond began chronicling Paddington’s adventures in his first book, A Bear Called Paddington, published in 1958.
