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.
The Wombles live in a beautifully snug, well-ordered and cosy burrow underneath Wimbledon Common – the perfect base from which to sort and recycle all the rubbish that unthinking humans constantly drop. But the Wombles' peaceful and harmonious existence is suddenly under threat. The heavy lorries that thunder along the roads near the Common make the burrow shake and tremble so much that it is no longer safe for the Wombles to live there. With a heavy heart, Great Uncle Bulgaria decides that the Wombles will have to move from the burrow that they have lived in for many, many years. And it is up to young Bungo and Orinoco to bravely sally forth and try to locate a new home for the Wombles . . .
Abridged versions of some of the Wombles stories can be heard on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds for Christmas 2023.

Critic Reviews
‘A lively, entertaining and humorous book, stuffed with ingenious ideas and endearing characters'
‘Over 40 years after the original book, The Wombles is reprinted, their recycling ways more relevant than ever'
‘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'
