About this listen

The classic story of Paddington, the bear from Darkest Peru, who was found lost on Paddington Station.

“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 found that Paddington was a very unusual bear. Ordinary things – like having a bath, travelling underground or going to the seaside became quite extraordinary, if a bear called Paddington was involved.

<strong>I love Paddington so very much </strong>

Paddington lands in Great Britain tries his paws at 'abstract ' art, goes to the seaside and theatre and celebrates his 'first' birthday.

By the way the Brown family moved to various colder climates in Norway and Canada that don't suit small Bears from South America so he now lives with me!

Stephen Fry was a great choice

I learned to read and, more importantly, discovered an interest in writing in an amusing style from growing up with Paddington books. Even as an adult I occasionally like to go back and read (or in this case, listen) to them.

Michael Bond, genius!

Remains excellent
