Paddington Gets a Passport
The 50th anniversary of the beloved childrens' story of Paddington Bear is approaching. In honor of the upcoming anniversary, the author, Michael Bond, has written a new adventure for Paddington called Paddington, Here and Now. I had heard several months ago that Paddington would have a run-in with immigration in this adventure. If you recall, Paddington was a stowaway on a ship from Peru. Sure enough, Paddington will be interviewed by police about his lack of travel documents. Fortunately, the Peruvian embassy in London actually issued Paddington a passport, so he will not have to worry about future problems with the authorities.
