What other bear but Paddington could find himself sent home on his first day of school? Or questioned as a prime witness in court? Or taking a crash course in water-skiing? Trust Paddington to follow his nose for adventure, with a suitcase full of marmalade sandwiches in tow!
First published in 1970, Paddington Takes the Air is the ninth classic novel about Michael Bondâs beloved classic character, Paddington Bear.
Michael Bond began chronicling Paddingtonâs adventures in his first book, A Bear Called Paddington, published in 1958. Fortunately, bears donât need much encouragement, and Paddington has since filled the pages of twelve further novels, a variety of picture books, and many other projects written for the young at heart.
