"Mr. and Mrs. Brown first met Paddington on a railway platform. In fact
that was how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear, for
Paddington was the name of the station." Thus began the first of the
Paddington books, A Bear Called Paddington by Michael Bond, first
published in England in 1958 by William Collins. While doing some
Christmas shopping in 1957, Michael Bond saw a lone bear sitting on a
shelf and bought him for his wife. They named him Paddington because
this was the area of London in which they were living. Michael started
to write stories about the bear, which became A Bear Called Paddington,
and has since been followed by a further 12 novels and countless other
formats such as picture and novelty books, and some 70 titles in all
which have sold more than 30 million copies worldwide in 30 languages.
To the delight of all Paddington fans there is a bronze statue of
Paddington on Paddington station to celebrate the place he was found.

Size 5 inches Tall standing.
