About this audiobook
Paddington has warmed the hearts of generations of readers with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures. This audio edition of the classic novel contains the original text by Michael Bond.
Paddington doesn’t intentionally turn his friend’s wedding into an uproar by getting the wedding ring stuck on his paw. Nor does he plan for Mr. Curry to slip on his marmalade sandwich in the middle of an important golf shot. But these sorts of things and more just happen when Paddington goes to town.
First published in 1968, Paddington Goes to Town is the eighth novel chronicling the adventures of Michael Bond's beloved classic character, Paddington Bear.
