He arrived at Paddington Station with a label round his neck and a suitcase full of marmalade. The Browns hadn’t planned on taking in a bear that day – but some things are simply meant to be. From bathtime blunders to elevenses escapades, Paddington brings chaos, charm and a whole lot of heart to 32 Windsor Gardens. Full of warmth, wit and very British mishaps, Michael Bond’s classic is a gentle reminder that kindness – and a good supply of sandwiches – can go a long way.
