Under Wimbledon Common, a community of furry creatures has been quietly tidying up after humans for longer than anyone can remember.
The Wombles are industrious, inventive, and utterly dedicated to making good use of the things that human beings throw away. Great Uncle Bulgaria reads the Times and keeps everything running smoothly. Tobermory invents things. Bungo is young and enthusiastic and always getting into trouble. Elisabeth Beresford's beloved creation, born in 1968, remains as charming and as relevant as ever.
The Wombles have always been a gentle parable about looking after the world — but what makes them endure is that they are also simply wonderful company, funny and warm and very, very real in their small, fuzzy way.
A perfect read for children aged 6–9 — wonderful aloud, wonderful alone, and the kind of story that sparks conversations about caring for the world without ever making that feel like a lecture.
