Ever since Paddington started working in the garden, its been a bit quieter in the Brown household, but with a bear around, things never stay quiet for long. From a paw-sticking toffee disaster to a slight scorching of Father Christmass beard, Paddington brings a splash of adventure to every day. First published in 1962, Paddington at Large is the fifth novel by Michael Bond, chronicling the adventures of this classic character. Paddington has warmed the hearts of generations of readers with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures. This brand-new paperback edition of the classic novel contains the original text by Michael Bond and illustrations by Peggy Fortnum. 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.
