Paddington has warmed the hearts of generations of readers with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures. This paperback edition of the classic novel contains the original text by Michael Bond and illustrations by Peggy Fortnum.

Paddington doesn't intentionally turn his friend's wedding into an uproar by getting the wedding ring stuck on his paw.
