What a great post... I was also born in England and had great fun introducing Rupert Bear, Wombles & Paddington to my children. I have all my Enid Blyton books from when I was a child and it thrills me to see my 9 year old daughter reading the famous five, secret seven etc, etc... but my absolute favourite book from child hood would have to be Milly Molly Mandy. thanks for sharing

Yes, I am in agreement, blessed are they that learnt to read via Enid Blyton's books. This explains why I have just published a book on Enid Blyton, titled, the Famous Five:A Personal Anecdotage (www.bbotw.com).

I always enjoyed Paddington as a child as well, but haven't thought of him for many years. I am so pleased you could finally find one & what a special treasure for your new baby! Your girls look happy there with the book & bear!
Where in England were you from? I was born in England - my parents were Aussies over there on an extended working holiday.

Ann, I can't tell you how much we love Paddington Bear here too! We also love Winnie-The-Pooh and Rupert. Rupert was a Brit cartoon that was on our PBS stations here when my older girls were younger. I named my St. Bernard after him:-) Thanks for the fond memories!

A lovely story, Ann. Anything that generates a good memory from the past is worth having. I have just received in the mail, the 4 seasons of ALF (purchased through Amazon). He appeared on our screens in 1986 (the year we were married) and we just loved that series. We had a good few chuckles last night as we watched some episodes.
I'm sure Paddington will be very happy living at Eight acres of Eden.
