Presents further misadventures in England of the bear from "Darkest Peru" in which he takes a driving test, visits a Stately Home, gets a rise, and takes part in a magic act.
"..the well-meaning Bear with a talent for trouble continues to fill the lives of the Brown family with unexpected adventures that will delight the multitude of Paddington fans."
Paddington returns from Peru and tries his hand at such things as the stock market, barbering, and even ballet; but he decides he would rather be his bear self.
Life is never the same for the Brown family after they bring adventurous Paddington Bear into their home. Includes previously unpublished pictures by Peggy Fortnum.
