Editorial Reviews

JULY 2018 - AudioFile

This heartwarming tale about Paddington, the bear from “darkest Peru,” is reminiscent of all of his adventures over the years. This audiobook follows Paddington through many different stories, including those that focus on a cooking show, gardening, and helping Mr. Gruber celebrate his birthday. Each of the seven stories holds just as much whimsy and wonder as Michael Bond’s work always has. In his narration, Stephen Fry adds another layer with his voicing of each of the characters and his overall performance. His tone and accent give his narration a soothing quality that goes wonderfully with Bond’s storytelling style. Fans of Paddington and newer listeners will enjoy his new adventures with the Brown family. C.G. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
