When the Browns go on holiday to France, Paddington is put in charge of the “eyetinnery.” But even with the whole trip planned down to the last marmalade sandwich, somehow Paddington takes the family off the beaten path on a voyage no one could forget.

Paddington Abroad Written by Michael Bond and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum Ordinary things - like having a bath, travelling underground or going to the seaside become quite extraordinary, if a bear called Paddington is involved. The Browns soon find that Paddington is a very unusual bear.

He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a suitcase and his hat. “Don’t be silly - there can’t be.” The Browns first met Paddington on a railway station - Paddington station, in fact. “A bear on Paddington Station?” said Mrs Brown in amazement. A Bear Called Paddington Written by Michael Bond and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum Paddington has since featured in more than twenty books written by British author with television series based on the titles.

It all began with ‘A Bear Called Paddington’ released on 13 October 1958, about a friendly spectacled bear from darkest Peru, wearing an old hat and duffel coat and carrying a battered suitcase, with a love of marmalade.
