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.

Love it!!

What made the experience of listening to A Bear Called Paddington the most enjoyable?

Love listening to this book after a hard day and when I don't want to think about big stuff before going to sleep. I revert back to childhood, and listen to the stories of this funny little bear.

What other book might you compare A Bear Called Paddington to, and why?

Good old fashioned story telling. You might also like the mr men collection and the wombles

What about Stephen Fry’s performance did you like?

Can't imagine anyone better to read this audiobook. His performance is wonderful, portraying all the characters with ease.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I forgot what a funny little bear Paddington is, with his aversion to baths and his sidekick Mr Gruber

Any additional comments?

Great audiobook for adults and children alike.

Short and sweet

A very funny little collection of short stories, expertly read (as always) by Stephen Fry. I'll get more of these, for sure.

Happy Paddington is inspirational

I liked the humour of Paddington but the voices were dissatisfying

Too add to it I liked the song and characters

The book has interesting things in every chapter like: Paddington does magic or a visit to the theatre. Paddington is sent out for a new home because his own house has been destroyed by a earthquake. Paddington goes to London where he lives with the brown’s house what adventure will be next
