About this audiobook
A brand-new title from Michael Bond chronicling new and exciting adventures of Paddington Bear!
Somehow Paddington always finds himself in extraordinary situations, so it is no surprise when he appears in a popular TV cooking show, finds himself on a stage giving one of his hard stares to a hypnotist, and performing some precarious tricks at Mr. Gruber’s birthday party.
For nearly sixty years, Paddington has enchanted readers around the world with his numerous misadventures and earnest good intentions. From master storyteller Michael Bond, and with interior illustrations by R. W. Alley, this new Paddington adventure will charm and delight readers of all ages.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I I love all of the Paddington books they are so much fun
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderful! Stephen is the perfect reader to give joy and life to Paddington's exciting adventures!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a lovely collection that suffers a bit from a few too many "what's that supposed to mean?" moments. I own the big collection of all the original stories and love it. Finest Hour has some touching and funny moments, but isn't quite as magical as the original books. There are quite a few sentences that don't read quite right and could've done with a bit more editing.I did really like the illustrations, though - they're modern yet still in keeping with the spirit of the original illustrations.
