Here he is once more: a familiar sight by now wearing his floppy, wide-brimmed hat and his duffle coat, leaving in his wake that inevitable trail of marmalade. He has just returned from a visit to Darkest Peru, where he celebrated his Aunt Lucy’s birthday at the Home for Retired Bears, and now that he is back with the Browns, trouble is sure to follow.
He dabbles a bit in the stock market, takes a stab at barbering, and even has a fling at the ballet studio, where at last he becomes something of a success in his own unique fashion. But the promise of international fame doesn’t turn this bear’s head, not for long, at least. Indeed, readers will agree, it’s far better to be simply a bear called Paddington.

Review:

Praise for the Paddington series:

'I've always had great respect for Paddington... He is a British institution.' Stephen Fry

'Paddington has joined Pooh as one of the great bears of English children's literature.' The Teacher

'Michael Bond's accident-prone bear...has become one of the most enduring of children's characters.' The Bookseller

From the Back Cover:

Stories of Paddington Bear have delighted children all over the world for fifty years.

"Do you realise," said Mrs Brown, a few fays after Paddington had returned from visiting his aunt in Peru, "we haven't had a single disaster since he came back."

But Paddington soon makes up for lost time. The Stock Exchange, the ballet, the barber's, Mr Curry's kitchen... nothing is safe when Paddington gets to work.
