Paddington’s nationality is that he comes from Peru where his Aunt lives but could no longer look after him due to her old age.
The character Paddington was first introduced to the world on the 13th October 1958. Paddington was based on a bear that Michael Bond spotted in Paddington Station that he actually purchased for his wife. This is obviously the reason in which he was named and it is no different at all for the book. Believe it or not some of Browns memories are thrown into the book with Paddingtons label stating “wanted on voyage” a memory of the WW2 evacuees.
Paddington actually stowed away on a life boat in which all he had to eat was marmalade which of course all bears love to eat. Paddington really does love marmalade sandwiches and is his favourite food in the world.
Paddington is a very polite and friendly bear and the only time he does get angry is if someone is rude to him in which he replies with a hard stare.
People are still out there buying the books to this day which is saying something. Paddington has starred in many television series with a film on the way. This film is going to be very similar to how Scooby Doo was made, let us just hope they do not make a second right?
It is thanks to the recent Marmite adverts that Paddington is now seen to enjoy Marmite over marmalade.
Peru which of course is where he is from is actually a really nice place to visit on holiday and is a lot better than the busy London streets and going on one of those Galapagos Cruises could be something for you.
When going on a Galapagos holiday you could even have the chance to spot a real life Paddington as he is based on the spectacled bear that lives there. Of course self drive holidays are also an option when travelling to Peru.
