“I do wish I could see into Paddington’s mind,” said Mrs Brown, “I know something’s going on. I can recognise the signs.”

And there is plenty of cause for concern when Paddington takes an interest in detective work. Not to mention sewing and ballroom dancing!

For more than sixty years, Paddington Bear has touched the hearts of adults and children worldwide with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures.
