Paddington has warmed the hearts of generations of readers with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures. This new paperback edition of the classic novel contains the original text by Michael Bond and illustrations by Peggy Fortnum.

First published in 1974, Paddington on Top is the tenth classic novel about Michael Bond’s beloved classic character, Paddington Bear.
