Michael Bond's glorious first Paddington story remains as timeless as ever, as the adorable bear from deepest, darkest Peru brings chaos and love into the Brown household.
The original story of everyone’s favourite bear, Paddington, now a major movie star!
“A bear on Paddington Station?” said Mrs Brown in amazement. “Don’t be silly – there can’t be.”
Paddington Bear had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru when the Brown family first met him on Paddington station. Since then their lives have never been quite the same… for ordinary things become quite extraordinary when a bear called Paddington is involved.
For more than sixty years, Paddington Bear has touched the hearts of adults and children worldwide with his earnest good intentions and humorous misadventures.
