Editor's Note

Beloved by all ages, Paddington Bear first captured the hearts of the world in Michael Bond’s 1958 tale, but he has since gone on to command adoration and esteem everywhere from busy London to 'darkest Peru'. Presented here by Steiff, the classic character boasts his signature blue duffle coat and red hat for standing out among other treasured teddies.
