Paddington at Large Book by Michael Bond - First Edition

Our Favourite Bear

“Even Paddington can’t come to much harm in half an hour,” said Mrs Brown optimistically. But who, other than Paddington, could hang Mr Curry’s lawnmower from a treetop or set Father Christmas’s beard on fire? - Michael Bond
