The very first, classic Paddington picture book, with updated art from
the original artist.
Nearly fifty years ago, a small bear from Darkest Peru set out on an
adventure of a lifetime. With nothing but a suitcase, several jars of
marmalade, and a label around his neck that read, "Please Look After
This Bear," he stowed away on a ship headed for faraway England. When
the little bear arrived at London's busy Paddington Station, he was
discovered by Mr. and Mrs. Brown. As luck would have it, the Browns were
just the sort of people to welcome a lost bear into their family.
Paddington Bear has charmed readers worldwide with his earnest good
intentions and humorous misadventures. This reissue of the classic
story, with new artwork by original artist R. W. Alley, will surely let
a whole new generation of children find a home in their hearts for this
lovable lost bear.
