Owning the bustling antique shop on the corner, Mr. Gruber possesses an uncanny ability to find the perfect treasure for anyone (and anything) in need. From a magical suitcase for Paddington's journey to London to a hat for a nervous Mr. Brown, Mr. Gruber's shop reflects the warmth and generosity that defines him.

Always patient and understanding, Mr. Gruber offers Paddington a safe haven in an unfamiliar world. He sees the good in everyone, readily offering a listening ear, a cup of tea with delicious marmalade sandwiches, and sage advice delivered with a gentle smile. Whether Paddington is facing a misunderstanding with the Browns or a cunning scheme by Mr. Curry, Mr. Gruber's calm demeanor and insightful words help Paddington navigate the complexities of life in London.

Mr. Gruber embodies the spirit of community, fostering connections between Paddington and the residents of Windsor Gardens. He's a friend to all, readily offering a helping hand or a friendly conversation. His genuine warmth and unwavering support contribute significantly to the charm and heart of the Paddington stories.

A Bear Called Paddington

Sale price£13.99

"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. Ordinary things - like having a bath, travelling underground or going to the seaside - became quite extraordinary, if a bear called Paddington was involved.
