About this listen

The classic story of Paddington, the bear from Darkest Peru, who was found lost on Paddington Station.

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

Very good app but the story line was a bit wired because it went from one thing to another

Very good because I like the story line and I liked the man talking

Michael Bond's stories of Paddington Bear are a classic of literature. Though thought of as being for children, Bond actually wrote them for everyone. As someone fast approaching 53, the stories still work.

I remember the BBC animated series that was narrated by Sir Michael Horden, which is still a favourite; however Stephen Fry is excellent.

Still As Good As Ever
