&8220;A bear on Paddington Station?” said Mrs Brown in amazement. &8220; Don&8217;t be silly &8211; there can&8217;t be.” The Browns first met Paddington at a railway station &8211; Paddington Station, in fact. He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a battered suitcase & his hat. & when the Browns saw the note attached to him &8211; &8220; Please look after this bear” &8211; they knew they had to take him home & do just that! The Browns soon find that Paddington is a very unusual bear. Ordinary things like having a bath, travelling on the Tube or going to the seaside become quite extraordinary &8211; when a bear called Paddington is involved!
