The Invisible Womble and Other Stories brings together five lively adventures featuring the much-loved Wombles of Wimbledon Common. Great Uncle Bulgaria, Tobermory, Orinoco, Bungo, Wellington and their friends spend their days collecting the things humans leave behind and finding ingenious new uses for rubbish, but even the most useful work can lead to comic confusion. Retelling favourite television adventures, the collection includes birthday surprises, curious noises, mysterious paws and the unforgettable experiment that makes one Womble seem to disappear. Elisabeth Beresford’s gentle humour, memorable characters and quietly environmental message make these stories ideal for reading aloud or enjoying independently. Warm, imaginative and full of mishaps, the book captures the Wombles at their funniest and most resourceful.
