The Wombles is the first ever Wombles book and introduces the stern but kindly Great Uncle Bulgaria; Orinoco, who is particularly fond of his food and a subsequent forty winks; general handyman extraordinaire Tobermory, who can turn almost anything that the Wombles retrieve from Wimbledon Common into something useful; Madame Cholet, who cooks the most delicious and natural foods to keep the Wombles happy and contented; and last but not least, Bungo, one of the youngest and cheekiest Wombles of all, who has much to learn and is due to venture out on to the common on his own for the very first time... 'A lively, entertaining and humorous book, stuffed with ingenious ideas and endearing characters' - The Times 'Over 40 years after the original book, The Wombles is reprinted, their recycling ways more relevant than ever' - Junior
