Paddington, the bear from Peru, will be arrested and interrogated over his immigration status in a book marking his 50th birthday.
Paddington Here and Now, due to be published in June 2008, is set around the bear's home at 32 Windsor Gardens, Notting Hill, west London.
It will mark the 50th anniversary of his debut in A Bear Called Paddington.
Author Michael Bond, 83, who lives in London, said while the world had changed Paddington remained the same.
[...]
In the new book the bear, who arrived in the country as a stowaway, is interviewed about his right to stay in England.
He has no papers to prove his identity as his Aunt Lucy arranged for him to hide on a ship's lifeboat from Peru when she went to live in the Home for Retired Bears in Lima.
