Told through Paddington's letters to his aunt Lucy back in Peru, this new novel offers Paddington's own special view on some of his most famous tales, from stowing away on a ship, to working as a barber.
Paddington becomes more English than ever, trying his hand as a chimney sweep, washing barrels in a marmalade factory, and becoming a cricket game hero.
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.
"Paddington can't wait to taste Mrs. Bird's pancakes on Pancake Day. But when Mrs. Bird can't make the pancakes, Paddington will have to step in."--Publisher.
