Paddington Bear - Tapa blanda

Paddington Bear is found at the station.

The Browns first meet 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 out that Paddington is a very unusual bear. Ordinary things – like having a bath – become quite extraordinary when a bear called Paddington is around.

In 2015, Michael was awarded a CBE for his services to children’s literature, to add to the OBE he received in 1997. Michael died in 2017, leaving behind one of the great literary legacies of our time.
