Steiff Plush Paddington Bear 690204: 28cm

“I’m a very rare sort of bear,” said Paddington “There aren’t many of us left where I come from.”

“And where is that?” asked Mrs Brown.

“Darkest Peru."

The author, Michael Bond, based Paddington Bear on a lonely teddy bear he noticed on a shelf in a London store on Christmas Eve in 1956 which he kindly bought as a present for his wife. The bear inspired Bond to write a story named - 'A Bear Called Paddington' - published on 13th October 1958.
