Despite his ageless appearance, Paddington Bear is 50 this year. He’s had a phenomenally successful career since his arrival from ‘Darkest Peru’ in 1958, encompassing a starring role in his own TV series and a bronze statue in his honour at a central London station (even Harry Potter can’t boast that). ‘Paddington Here and Now’ is Michael Bond’s first Paddington book for 30 years. in light of the famously marmalade-loving bear’s disconcerting appearance in an ad for Marmite, we’re very happy to see him back on the straight and yellow.
