An alternate cover edition of this ISBN can be found here. Mr. and Mrs. Brown first met Paddington, a most endearing bear from Darkest Peru on a railway platform in London. A sign hanging around his neck said, "Please look after this bear. Thank you" So that is just what they did. From the very first night when he attempted his first bath and ended up nearly flooding the house, Paddington was seldom far from imminent disaster. Jonathan and Judy were delighted with this havoc and even Mr. and Mrs. Brown had to admit that life seemed to be more filled with adventure when there was a bear in the house.

A new, updated edition of the third Paddington book offers more evidence of the little bear's talent for getting into trouble, despite his good intentions and the benign oversight of the Brown family of London.

Paddington fans will be delighted once more as their favorite bear turns things merrily, unpredictably topsy-turvy in this revised edition of Paddington Goes to Town.

For most people, “taking the air” is merely taking a simple stroll, but as all true Paddington admirers might expect, nothing is simple for Paddington. As usual, though, he retains his talent for turning his sticky moments into great triumph. Whether he’s attempting to tailor pants for grouchy Mr. Curry, or embarking on a thrilling career as a mystery detective, Paddington is sure to find trouble—and fun—wherever he goes.

Paddington’s trademark innocence and determination are sure to delight readers of all ages and prove again and again that this is one bear who’s bound to come out on top.

Bond, Michael - The Complete Paddington (Published in London by The Folio Society. 2010. 12 volumes. Presented in a buckram-bound slipcase blocked in gold. Bound in different shades of gold-blocked cloth with matching head and tail bands. Inset paper labels, gilded top edges, printed endpapers. Between 1958 and 1979 Michael Bond wrote eleven stories about a well-intentioned, but accident-prone bear called Paddington, who has a penchant for marmalade. Paddington has since delighted children and adults the world over, selling over 35 million copies in 40 languages. To the delight of fans, Bond wrote the 12th book to celebrate Paddington's 50th anniversary. Now, the complete set of Paddington stories is available in a gorgeous, exclusive Folio Society edition. Michael Bond was working as a cameraman for the BBC, when, returning home on Christmas Eve, he saw a lonely-looking bear in a shop window. He bought it as a gift for his wife and named it Paddington because they lived near the station. Soon Bond found himself making up little stories about a small (and very rare) bear who leaves darkest Peru because his Aunt Lucy has gone into a home for retired bears. Luckily the first people he meets in London are Mr and Mrs Brown. They see him sitting sadly on his suitcase, with a label around his neck which reads: PLEASE LOOK AFTER THIS BEAR. THANK YOU. Taken into the Browns' family, Paddington soon makes friends with the children Jonathan and Judy, and their redoubtable housekeeper Mrs Bird. He goes on delightful adventures with Mr Gruber who owns an antique shop on Portobello Road, but annoys a grumpy neighbour whose furious shouts of 'BEAARRR!' often ring round Notting Hill Square. This glorious set is illustrated with the original black and white drawings by Peggy Fortnum. She immortalised the little bear with tufty black ears who first arrived in Paddington station holding onto his uncle's floppy hat and was later coaxed into a fine blue duffel coat. The final, 50th-anniversary book employs the talents of R. W. Alley, a devoted fan whose sketches are a fitting homage to Peggy Fortnum's pen.

The Adventures of Paddington is a special edition which contains the first two books of stories about him: A Bear Called Paddington and More About Paddington.
