To celebrate Paddington Bear's 60th birthday in 2018 this hilarious classic novel from master storyteller Michael Bond has been given a fresh new look. Paddington is now a major movie star!

"My legs are a bit short for the pole vault!" repeated Paddington hotly. "But they've always been that way."
