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 Bond's beloved classic character, Paddington Bear.
