"I've never known such a bear for smelling things out," said Mrs Bird.
Paddington's sharp nose and his talent for getting into difficulties lead him to an orange marmalade tasting party. His enthusiasm lands him in a barrel of marmalade, causing an avalanche in the warehouse. And, one morning, he sniffs out a surprise for himself and discovers that he is about to embark on the greatest adventure of his life.
Original adventures of the classic bear from Darkest Peru, soon to be a major movie star!
'I do wish I could see into Paddington's mind,' said Mrs Brown, 'I know something's going on. I can recognise the signs.'
And there is plenty of cause for concern when Paddington takes an interest in detective work. Not to mention sewing and ballroom dancing!

Then Paddington finds himself taking a driving test and, much to his amazement, is presented with a license allowing him to drive a rather unusual vehicle.
