The Wombles | Elisabeth Beresford
Meet the Wombles – clever, kind-hearted creatures who live in cozy burrows beneath Wimbledon Common. With a knack for tidying up after humans, they collect and recycle rubbish in creative ways, turning trash into treasure. Led by the wise Great Uncle Bulgaria, and joined by favorites like the sleepy Orinoco and the inventive Tobermory, the Wombles set out on charming adventures filled with mishaps, teamwork, and gentle humor.
First published in 1968, The Wombles blends fun storytelling with early environmental themes, making it a timeless read for young readers.
