Synopsis

When Paddington returns from his trip to Peru, he doesn’t waste any time getting back to business. The Stock Exchange, the ballet, the barber’s shop, Mr. Curry’s kitchen...nothing is safe when Paddington gets to work.

First published in 1966, Paddington at Work is the seventh novel by Michael Bond, chronicling the adventures of this classic character. Paddington has warmed the hearts of generations of readers with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures. This edition of the classic novel contains the original text by Michael Bond and illustrations by Peggy Fortnum.


Paddington’s good intentions are back—and so is the chaos.


  • A Visit to the Stock Exchange: Paddington tries to exchange a very unusual stock, leading to a case of mistaken identity with a notorious con man.
  • An Unexpected Ballet Star: When a famous dancer has a fit of temperament, Paddington steps in—and brings the house down with his unique, pin-sharp performance.
  • A Very Close Shave: A job at the local barber’s shop goes haywire when Paddington tries his paw at hairdressing, with truly hair-raising results for one unlucky customer.
  • Classic British Humor: Full of the gentle wit, charming misunderstandings, and slapstick comedy that has made Paddington a beloved character for generations.

À propos de l'auteur

Michael Bond began chronicling Paddington’s adventures in his first book, A Bear Called Paddington, published in 1958. Fortunately, bears don’t need much encouragement, and Paddington has since filled the pages of twelve further novels, a variety of picture books, and many other projects written for the young at heart.
