The family eventually sold the rights to Britain's then leading toy store, Hamleys. Shirley Clarkson's book describes the evolution of the toy Paddington from Christmas gift to subject of litigation and ultimately commercial success. Gabrielle Designs then produced their boots with paw prints moulded into the soles. (Paddington received Wellingtons for Christmas in Paddington Marches On, 1964.) The earliest bears wore small children's boots manufactured by Dunlop Rubber until production could not meet demand. Shirley Clarkson dressed the stuffed bear in Wellington boots to help it stand upright.

The first Paddington Bear stuffed toy to be manufactured was created in 1972 by Gabrielle Designs, a small family business run by Shirley and Eddie Clarkson, with the prototype made as a Christmas present for their children Joanna and Jeremy Clarkson, a now well-known British TV presenter and writer. A Bear Called Paddington was first published on 13 October 1958 by William Collins & Sons. The book was given to his agent, Harvey Unna. The bear inspired Bond to write a story and in ten days, he had written the first book. He was inspired by the sight, during World War II, of Jewish refugee children from Europe arriving in Britain and of London children being evacuated to the countryside, the evacuees bearing labels perhaps similar to that attached to the bear Paddington "Please look after this bear". Michael Bond based Paddington Bear on a lone teddy bear that he noticed on a shelf in a London shop near Paddington Station on Christmas Eve 1956, which he bought as a present for his wife.

He was discovered in London Paddington station by the (human) Brown family who adopted him and gives his full name as "Paddington Brown," as his original name in bear language was too hard for them to pronounce. He has an endless capacity for innocently getting into trouble, but he is known to "try so hard to get things right". An anthropomorphised bear, Paddington is always polite – addressing people as "Mr", "Mrs" and "Miss" but rarely by first names – and kindhearted, though he inflicts hard stares on those who incur his disapproval. The friendly spectacled bear from "darkest Peru" – with his old hat, battered suitcase, duffel coat and love of marmalade – has become a classic character in British children's literature. He first appeared on 13 October 1958 in the children's book A Bear Called Paddington and has been featured in more than twenty books written by British author Michael Bond, and illustrated by Peggy Fortnum and other artists. upcomingregionalsection.cms?parentid=61017241&genere=*:* /upcomingregionalsection.Paddington Bear is a fictional character in children's literature.
