Description

This classic tale tells the story of a small bear from Darkest Peru who is found at Paddington railway station by the Brown family. With his old hat, battered suitcase, and love of marmalade, Paddington embarks on many adventures, often causing unintended chaos but always with good intentions and a heartwarming sense of humor. Unabridged and illustrated in glorious full-colour throughout, this exquisite gift edition of the original story of everyone's favourite bear, Paddington, is truly to be treasured! Paddington is now a major movie star. 'A bear? On Paddington station?' Mrs Brown looked at her husband in amazement. 'Don't be silly, Henry. 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.
