 "A Bear Called Paddington" introduces readers to the charming adventures of a young bear who travels from Darkest Peru to London. As a longtime fan who only recently delved into Paddington's stories, I found myself delighted by his wit and intelligence. Despite being familiar with Paddington from the cartoon, reading about his escapades in the original book was a delightful experience.

A fun journey back into an old style of children's book. Paddington has adventures and always lands on his feet. He finds a nice family and is a well-loved refugee from the darkest Peru.
