It was Christmas Eve 1956. A not-so-famous writer named Michael Bond in a large London store stumbled upon an unnecessary toy bear cub. Bond bought a bear and named Paddington - after a nearby train station. And then there were several stories about the adventures of a funny bear who arrived from Dense Peru straight to Paddington Station. This is how a new literary symbol of England arose - books about it were translated into forty languages, there is a monument to him at that very station, and tourists briskly buy up toy cubs in blue fingers. Paddington's adventures have been going on for over fifty years - such a bear! Where he is, it's never boring.
