Paddington Bear, the friendly bear from Peru—with his old hat, battered suitcase (complete with secret compartment), duffel coat, and love of marmalade—has become a classic character from British children’s literature. Enjoy the classic story of the bear from Darkest Peru who stowed away on a ship headed for England. He arrived at Paddington Station with nothing but a suitcase, a half-empty jar of marmalade, and a label that read, ‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’
