Summary
Join in the adventures of the Wombles, the classic and much loved creatures, as they make good use of the bad rubbish they find on Wimbledon Common, in this book by the original creator of the Wombles.
There has been a huge festival and no end of rubbish has been left behind – everything from sunglasses to shoes, drinks cans and bottles. Who would have thought humans could leave so much behind, not bothering to recycle? The Wombles have their work cut out for them . . .
Abridged versions of some of the Wombles stories can be heard on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds for Christmas 2023. Unabridged brand-new audiobooks are available too.

Critic Reviews
‘A lively, entertaining and humorous book, stuffed with ingenious ideas and endearing characters'
‘There's something wonderfully old-fashioned and charming about the "short, fat, furry" creatures. They are simple without being simplistic, innocent without being naïve, civic minded for its own sake'
‘Today's children will be as charmed as their parents by Great Uncle Bulgaria, Orinoco, Bungo and Tobermory and their quest to recycle rubbish and put it to good use'
‘The six original titles by Elizabeth Beresford are back in print, with an environmental message that has never been more relevant. Perfect for 8-to 10-year-olds'
