A Bear Called Paddington

A Bear Called Paddington

by Michael Bond (Author), Peggy Fortnum (Illustrator)

Synopsis

A bear on Paddington Station? said Mrs Brown in amazement. Don't be silly - there can't be.

The Browns first met Paddington on a railway station - Paddington station, in fact. He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a suitcase and his hat.

The Browns soon find that Paddington is a very unusual bear. Ordinary things - like having a bath, travelling underground or going to the seaside become quite extraordinary, if a bear called Paddington is involved.
