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

There was a half-eaten bun on the table but just as he reached out his paw a waitress came up and swept it into a pan.
