What is the name of Paddington Bear’s first published sequel book, released in 1959?

Paddington Bear’s first published sequel book was More About Paddington, released in 1959.

The book followed A Bear Called Paddington, Michael Bond’s 1958 introduction to the polite bear from Peru. Like the first collection, it presents a series of comic adventures involving Paddington, the Brown family, and everyday activities that become unexpectedly complicated.

More About Paddington helped establish the format that became central to the series: short episodes connected by recurring characters, domestic mishaps, Paddington’s earnest good intentions, and his love of marmalade. It is sometimes confused with later titles such as Paddington Takes the Air and Paddington Goes to Town, but those are separate books in the series.

The title is also distinct from the many later television and film adaptations. The 2014 and 2017 feature films drew on characters and situations from Bond’s books but are not direct screen versions of this particular sequel.
