Book Overview

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. Nor does he plan for Mr. Curry to slip on his marmalade sandwich in the middle of an important golf shot. But these sorts of things and more just happen when Paddington goes to town.

First published in 1968, Paddington Goes to Town is the eighth novel chronicling the adventures of Michael Bond's beloved classic character, Paddington Bear.


Six charming tales of mishaps and marmalade await inside.


  • Classic British Humor: From getting a wedding ring stuck on his paw to accidentally winning a golf tournament, Paddington's London adventures are full of gentle, laugh-out-loud moments.
  • A Bear in the Big City: Follow Paddington as he visits a hospital, helps a friend build a patio, and takes in the dazzling Christmas decorations in the heart of London.
  • Good Intentions Gone Wrong: Paddington always tries to be helpful, but his best efforts often lead to chaos--especially when a grumpy neighbor like Mr. Curry and a marmalade sandwich are involved!
  • Heartwarming Children's Classic: Featuring the original, beloved text by Michael Bond and charming illustrations by Peggy Fortnum, this is a story to be treasured by a new generation of readers.
