Paddington Here and Now

Paddington – the beloved, classic bear from Darkest Peru – is back in this fantastically funny, long-awaited, brand new novel from master storyteller Michael Bond!

'I'm not a foreigner,' exclaimed Paddington hotly. 'I'm from Darkest Peru.'

Paddington Bear always manages to find himself in tricky, sometimes extraordinary situations. Like the time he had a difficult encounter with a policeman, or when he found himself in deep water with a newspaper reporter. Since arriving from his native Peru after an earthquake, Paddington has always felt at home with the Brown family, who found him at Paddington station.

Until one day, a surprise visitor arrives at thirty-two Windsor Gardens. Is it time for Paddington to decide where 'home' really is?

In 2008, Michael Bond's first novel featuring the adventures of Paddington Bear celebrated its fiftieth anniversary. Paddington's amazing ability to get into and out of trouble is at the heart of the countless stories that have been loved the world over ever since. However, it has been many years since a new novel was published, and in celebration of this landmark, Michael Bond has written the funniest and most moving Paddington novel ever.
