Paddington Bear is a fictional character in children’s literature.

His first appearance was on 13 October 1958 in the children’s book A Bear Called Paddington and has been featured in more than twenty books written by British author Michael Bond, and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum and other artists.

Michael Bond based Paddington Bear on a lone teddy bear that he noticed on a shelf in a London shop near Paddington Station on Christmas Eve 1956, which he bought as a present for his wife.

Bond was inspired by the sight, during World War II, of Jewish refugee children from Europe arriving in Britain and of London children being evacuated to the countryside, the evacuees bearing labels perhaps similar to that attached to the bear Paddington “Please look after this bear”.

The bear inspired Bond to write a story and in ten days, he had written the first book.

The Bear, recognized instantly with his spectacles, old hat, battered suitcase, duffel coat and love of marmalade – has become a classic character in British children’s literature.
