Illustrated by
Peggy Fortnum.
Confusion becomes chaos when Paddington accompanies his human family on a summer holiday in France. From his initial preparations, which include mastery of such useful French phrases as, "My grandmother has fallen out of the stagecoach and needs attention," to the grand finale--his participation in the "Tour de France"--Paddington bumbles delightfully from one absurd escapade to another. This is a paper-over-board edition.
