It is 1940. France has fallen, and only a narrow strip of sea lies between Great Britain and invasion. The war could go either way, and everyone must do their bit. Young copywriter Catrin Cole is drafted into the Ministry of Information to help write women into propaganda films - something that the men aren't very good at. She is quickly seconded to the ministry's latest endeavor: a heartwarming tale of bravery and rescue at Dunkirk. It's all completely fabricated, of course, but what does that matter when the nation's morale is at stake?

The scene of this entertaining story is laid in a charming English village. The plot centres round Miss Barbara Buncle, a maiden lady who was obliged to write a book because – as she naively explained – her dividends were so poor. Unfortunately, Miss Buncle had no imagination, so she wrote about her friends – quite kindly and truthfully, of course, for she was a benevolent and veracious soul.

Daughters of Eden focuses on the lives and fortunes of four very different young women at the outbreak of the Second World War. Marjorie, left at a boarding school by her emigrating mother; plain Poppy, pushed into marriage with a mean-spirited aristocrat; Kate, despised by her father, but determined to prove herself; and man-mad Lily, who turns out to be the bravest of them all. That all of them are chosen to work undercover for the espionage unit at Eden Park is a surprise, not least to them.

The first audiobook which appeared in Georges Simenon's famous Maigret series, in a gripping new translation by David Bellos.Inevitably Maigret was a hostile presence in the Majestic. He constituted a kind of foreign body that the hotel's atmosphere could not assimilate. Not that he looked like a cartoon policeman. He didn't have a moustache and he didn't wear heavy boots. His clothes were well cut and made of fairly light worsted. He shaved every day and looked after his hands. But his frame was proletarian. He was a big, bony man.

Wilfred woke early. It was his birthday. He had lots of lovely presents, but the best one was a surprise.… Mr Apple had organised a secret celebration picnic and all the mice of Brambly Hedge were invited. There was so much to carry. Poor Wilfred got very tired as he lurched and bumped his way along the grassy track. What was it Mrs Apple had said was in his hamper? Knives? Sandwiches? They were certainly heavy! When they finally arrived, Wilfred was allowed to open up the hamper and there he found the best treat of all….

Lighten My Load
I am 75 now and a great grandmother. I have read Paddington to my children and grandchildren. Third generation to come.
I missed the old boy so I listened today as I did my chores. He did not
disappoint.
Looking forward to sharing this lovely “Brown” bear again, with little ones who will find him, as endearing as I do.
Good job, folks.

A Truly Must-Read Classic
This is an amazing story. The humorous situations, great dialogue, and so much more is wrapped up in this little book. As a author and a reader, I can tell you this is a story everyone should read, whether or not you see the movie. I've read many books, and listened to many as well. This is still one of my favorites.

Great for any age.
Would you listen to A Bear Called Paddington again? Why?
Probably not, I enjoyed it the first time very much but I have many more books I want to read.
What other book might you compare A Bear Called Paddington to and why?
It is unique.
Any additional comments?
Anyone with a heart should love Paddington, from youngest child to elderly.

Well, I'm a Stephen Fry fan but my wife isn't.
Well, I'm a Stephen Fry fan but my wife isn't. That was until this. Such an excellent job by Mr. Fry. Perfect. And the stories? Well, they're second to none. I wish I had been the one to first spot this bear~ My son, only six months old, has several audio books to accompany him in the afternoon, Paddington seems to be his favorite. I'll let you know when he actually begins speaking!!

Stephen Fry is excellent
The Paddington books are absolute treasures. They are positive and joyful. Add Stephen Fry as the reader and you've got a really wonderful experience. I've gotten this one and More About Paddington. I will get others.
