During his time as an inspector with the Paris Sûreté, Monsieur Pamplemousse had been 'in at the death' on more than one occasion, but even he had to admit that the phrase took on an entirely new meaning when he was present at the spectacular ending to Cuisine de Chavignol, France's premier television cookery programme.

Having delivered a particularly stirring speech at his recently deceased colleague's funeral, Monsieur Pamplemousse is more than a little disturbed when the coffin explodes during the ceremony. Luckily, his faithful hound Pommes Frites gave out a warning cry just in time, so there were no casualties. But, who exactly is behind this explosion? And was the same person responsible for his late co-worker's demise?

i>Le Guide, France’s top gastronomic guide, is failing to whet the appetite of its audience in America. Bribed by the director with offers of some time off, Monsieur Pamplemousse agrees to flex his literary muscles in a bid to address the problem by writing a play. The result is the ex-detective’s directorial debut, complete with walk-on part for faithful bloodhound Pommes Frites. But disaster strikes on opening night....

There’s nothing Paddington likes better than a bedtime snack. But what with nightmares, a bath in his pyjamas and a week’s worth of washing to do, perhaps eating marmalade sandwiches in bed isn’t such a good idea after all?

As usual, Paddington manages to turn a perfectly normal outing into an adventure. Mr Gruber and Paddington are just about to be followed home by a crowd of eager tourists, when Paddington manages to lose them all in the maze. But, mysteriously, Paddington and Mr Gruber manage to escape from the maze unscathed.

Den første gang bjørnen Paddington møder familien Brown er på Paddington Station i London. Han er kommet hele vejen fra det mørkeste Peru, og det eneste, han har med, er et glas med marmelade, en kuffert og et skilt om halsen med teksten ”Pas godt på denne bjørn, tak!”. Familien Brown beslutter sig for at gøre bjørnen til en del af deres familie, og de beslutter at opkalde ham efter deres mødested. De opdager hurtigt, at Paddington er en højst usædvanlig bjørn, og helt almindelige ting – som for eksempel at gå i bad – bliver pludselig ret ualmindeligt i selskab med Paddington.

Paddington egy nap izgalmas hírrel állít be magyar származású barátja, Gruber úr régiségkereskedésébe: a Brown család vakációra megy Franciaországba. Ráadásul a családfő Paddingtont bízza meg az útiterv összeállításával. Persze a tévéből is jól ismert mackó nem is lenne önmaga, ha nem okozna felfordulást, ahová csak lép, legyen az a bank, a repülőtér, vagy egy lakatlan sziget, de a végén valahogy mindig jó sül ki belőle.

Legyen szó vízvezeték-szerelésről, kéményseprésről, a narancslekvárgyár meglátogatásáról vagy az iskolai krikettmeccsről, Paddington mindig kész segíteni, a Brown család őszinte rémületére.

A legsötétebb Peruból jött medve újabb kalandjai sem kevésbé izgalmasak, mint az eddigiek.
