Product Information

Although many know the Wombles from the television series, the series was based on the charming and well-written books that came first, originally published in 1968. Even now the Wombles' songs feature on YouTube, indicating the enduring appeal of these characters. Supported by an innovative publicity and marketing campaign Much beloved by adults, children of today will also respond to the prescient and timely message of recycling that the Wombles live by, whose motto is 'making good use of bad rubbish' Illustrations by Nick Price

'A lively, entertaining and humorous book, stuffed with ingenious ideas and endearing characters' The Times 'There's something wonderfully old-fashioned and charming about the "short, fat, furry" creatures. They are simple without being simplistic, innocent without being naive, civic minded for its own sake' Irish Examiner 'The rubbish collecting eco message has a new resonance' Angels and Urchins
