"A bear on Paddington Station?" said Mrs Brown in amazement. "Don't be silly - there can't be." The Browns first met Paddington on a railway station - Paddington station, in fact. He had travelled all the way from Darkest Peru with only a jar of marmalade, a suitcase and his hat. The Browns soon found that Paddington was a very unusual bear.

When Paddington returns from his trip to Peru, he doesn't waste any time getting back to business. The stock exchange, the ballet, the barber's shop, Mr. Curry's kitchen - nothing is safe when Paddington gets to work.

Ever since Paddington arrived in England, he has shared his adventures with his aunt Lucy back in Peru. From meeting the Browns to discovering the sights and sounds of London, his letters tell the story of a kind-hearted bear discovering a whole new life - told with love, from Paddington.

Paddington is thrilled to go to the beach with the Browns. He’s never splashed in the ocean or built a sand castle. Outfitted with a new set of beach toys, Paddington seems ready for whatever comes his way. But the biggest surprise of all sweeps Paddington off on a new adventure.

How is it that we can walk unfamiliar streets while maintaining a sense of direction? How can we come up with shortcuts on the fly, in places we've never traveled? The answer is the complex mental map in our brains. This feature of our cognition is easily taken for granted, but it's also critical to our species' evolutionary success. In From Here to There, Michael Bond tells stories of the lost and found - Polynesian sailors, orienteering champions, early aviators - and surveys the science of human navigation.

Paddington is delighted to discover that the Browns are throwing him a birthday party. But when the magic trick he performs goes awry, Paddington needs something more than a tap of his wand to set things straight.

Paddington and Mr. Gruber enjoy a day off from their duties as they set out to explore London with Jonathan and Judy. Each turn brings a new discovery, and Paddington's nose for adventure leads to the greatest surprise of all.

Seven marks upon a wall. Tom may rise, but he may fall. Through five lives, no one dares mention the sin for which he seeks redemption. Fates will meet, and you will see what will thus become of he.

Living in the magical Herb Garden, Parsley the lion is never quite sure what’s going to happen to him next...especially with an excitable friend like Dill the dog around. Parsley made his debut in 1968 in the children’s animated TV series The Herbs, written by the creator of Paddington Bear, Michael Bond. Capturing the hearts of viewers, he went on to star in his own TV series The Adventures of Parsley in 1970, as well as in a series of books and on a wide range of merchandise.

A legsötétebb Peruból jött medve újabb kalandjai sem kevésbé izgalmasak, mint az eddigiek. Paddington részt vesz például egy folyóparti pikniken, árverésen költi a pénzt, moziba megy és születésnapot ünnepel egy elegáns étteremben. Ezúttal is a tőle megszokott nagy lelkesedéssel fog bele egyszerűnek tűnő feladatokba, de aztán igyekezete hamar zűrzavarba és mindenféle kalamajkába torkollik.

A Legsötétebb Peruból jött medve legeslegújabb kalandjai is megfelel a híres-neves Paddington-hagyományoknak: megmosolyogtató, pergő cselekményű, kedves, váratlan fordulatokkal teli mesék fűzére, amely nem mentes a megszokott bond-i társadalomkritikától sem. Bár Paddington láthatóan el-eltéved a mindennapi élet útvesztőiben, valójában a vele kapcsolatba lépők sem bizonyulnak minden esetben nálánál talpraesettebbnek.

Ob die Familie Brown wusste, worauf sie sich einlässt, als sie Paddington bei sich aufnahm? Der tollpatschige Bär hat ein großes Talent...

A legsötétebb Peruból jött medve újabb kalandjaiban tovább folytatódik a felfedezések sora: Kis barátunk többek között családi csoportképet készít, tűzijátékot rendez és a hagyományos karácsonyi bevásárlásból, készülődésből is kiveszi a részét. A csetlő-botló, ámde mindenkinek örömet okozni akaró kis medve komoly erőfeszítéseket tesz, hogy átlásson az emberi lét kisebb-nagyobb összefüggésein. Felfedezéseinek komikuma pedig pontosan e kísérletek gyakori sikertelenségéből ered.

Was wäre Familie Brown bloß ohne Paddington? Ob beim wilden Weihnachtseinkauf, beim schweißtreibenden Sportfest oder beim Ausflug mit seinem Freund Mr Gruber - mit dem kleinen Bären aus dem tiefsten Peru wird jeder Tag zum Abenteuer! Auf diesem Weihnachtshörbuch erzählt kein Geringerer als Dietmar Bär Kindern ab drei Jahren vergnügliche Geschichten von Paddington, der mit seiner Vorliebe für Orangenmarmelade längst alle Kinderherzen erobert hat.

Londonban, a Paddington pályaudvaron várakozó Brown házaspár egy kuka mellett hatalmas karimájú fura kalapot pillant meg és alatta egy barna, bozontos nagyon kicsike medvét, nyakában egy táblával, rajta a felirattal: "Kérem, törődjenek ezzel a medvével! Köszönöm" - Így kezdődnek a távolról érkezett csetlő-botló, városi Micimackóvá formálódó kis medve kalandjai.

Paddington ist zurück! Mit braunem Fell, verbeultem Koffer und Marmeladenglas tapst der kleine Bär munter durch sechs bezaubernde Geschichten und lässt dabei kein Fettnäpfchen aus. Im Sturm hat der Bär aus Peru die Herzen der Familie Brown erobert, die ihn bei sich aufnimmt, ohne zu ahnen, worauf sie sich einlässt. Denn ob im Garten oder an der Staffelei, ob im Palast der englischen Königin oder im Zoo - jeder Tag mit Paddington bringt ein neues turbulentes Abenteuer mit sich. Davon erzählt Katharina Thalbach in diesen sechs ungekürzten Lesungen.

Having delivered a particularly stirring speech at his recently deceased colleague's funeral, Monsieur Pamplemousse is more than a little disturbed when the coffin explodes during the ceremony. Luckily, his faithful hound Pommes Frites gave out a warning cry just in time, so there were no casualties. But, who exactly is behind this explosion? And was the same person responsible for his late co-worker's demise?

i>Le Guide, France’s top gastronomic guide, is failing to whet the appetite of its audience in America. Bribed by the director with offers of some time off, Monsieur Pamplemousse agrees to flex his literary muscles in a bid to address the problem by writing a play. The result is the ex-detective’s directorial debut, complete with walk-on part for faithful bloodhound Pommes Frites. But disaster strikes on opening night....

From the author who brought the world Paddington Bear, comes the new book in the delightful Parisian mystery-series featuring Monsieur Pamplemousse and his canine partner, Pomme Frites. In this latest adventure, they must get to the bottom of a mystery surrounding the tarnishing of the integrity of Le Guide - France's premier hotel and restaurant guide. What they couldn't anticipate was that the case would involve a nun who is in the habit of joining the Mile High Club...
