Paddington arrives at Paddington Station from Darkest Peru with a battered suitcase, a jar of marmalade and a label asking someone to look after him. Mr and Mrs Brown soon welcome the polite, adventurous bear into their family and name him after the station where they found him. But Paddington is not an ordinary bear. From bath time to everyday household tasks, his good intentions lead to surprising mishaps and amusing adventures for everyone around him.
