During World War II, he served in both the Royal Air Force and the British Army. He sold his first short story in 1945 to the magazine London Opinion. Over the next decade, he had numerous short stories published and radio plays performed. After the war, he joined the BBC Radio and later worked for BBC-TV as a cameraman from 1947 to 1965.

These books about the amiable Peruvian bear are essentially identical to the earlier editions. The type is larger and there's more white space on each page, making the books easier on readers' eyes. Paddington's adventures include a stint at school, an exercise kick, and a trip to the hospital. The humor is broad, and Fortnum's loose ink sketches place Paddington smack in the middle of every mess. From HORN BOOK Fall 2001, (c) Copyright 2010.

We might have known that the truant officer was bound to catch up with Paddington some day. Once he hears that the school day begins with ""taking the roll"" Paddington is positively looking forward to his matriculation, but his good manners and logic soon prove him unfit to be a student (""I'm not familiar with your Aunt Lucy's curriculum."" . . . ""I'll show you a picture of her if you like""). With the same imperturbable dignity, Paddington testifies in court and sees one of his marmalade sandwiches entered as Exhibit A; sells his interest in a mail order exercise gadget to Mr. Curry; learns water skiing; and helps the Peruvian reserves score in a rugby match. There's even a surprise visit from Aunt Lucy, on vacation from the Home for Retired Bears in Lima. Funniest of all are the reactions of strangers to meeting a bear in a duffle coat; one quick-witted salesman rises to the occasion, saying ""It's nice when you have a picture of someone in your mind and they turn out exactly as you expected."" These adventures turned out exactly as we expected--vintage Paddington, puns and all. . . and lovable as ever. Copyright ©Kirkus Reviews, used with permission.
