A brand-new title from Michael Bond chronicling new and exciting adventures of Paddington Bear!

Somehow Paddington always finds himself in extraordinary situations, so it is no surprise when he appears in a popular TV cooking show, finds himself on a stage giving one of his hard stares to a hypnotist, and performing some precarious tricks at Mr. Gruber's birthday party.

For nearly sixty years, Paddington has enchanted readers around the world with his numerous misadventures and earnest good intentions. From master storyteller Michael Bond, and with interior illustrations by R. W. Alley, this new Paddington adventure will charm and delight readers of all ages.

      This heartwarming tale about Paddington, the bear from "darkest Peru," is reminiscent of all of his adventures over the years. This audiobook follows Paddington through many different stories, including those that focus on a cooking show, gardening, and helping Mr. Gruber celebrate his birthday. Each of the seven stories holds just as much whimsy and wonder as Michael Bond's work always has. In his narration, Stephen Fry adds another layer with his voicing of each of the characters and his overall performance. His tone and accent give his narration a soothing quality that goes wonderfully with Bond's storytelling style. Fans of Paddington and newer listeners will enjoy his new adventures with the Brown family. C.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine

      "'It's a long story,' said Mrs. Brown. 'Has it got anything to do with bears?' asked Mrs. Bird." This is a new installment in the long-running series about Paddington Bear, the beloved visitor from "Darkest Peru." As before, Paddington stars in seven episodic chapters, which are ably illustrated with Alley's lively black-and-white drawings.
