The perfect way to meet the Wombles - in a gorgeously illustrated, snowy, sparkly picture book. A wombling Merry Christmas to everyone!

Classic and much loved characters brought back into print with a fresh new cover look and inside illustrations to celebrate over 40 years of the Wombles Orinoco is perhaps the Womble who needs the most encouragement to go out on the daily sortie to clear up and recycle all the rubbish that humans leave behind. Meanwhile, Tobermory, DIY-er extraordinaire, is getting to grips with the one of the humans' more ingenious inventions: the vacuum cleaner!

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 . . .

Meet the original recyclers, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common, as they make good use of the rubbish humans throw away. For the first time, read all the Wombles stories in one. Follow the young Wombles as they take their first steps outside the Womble burrow to collect rubbish in the big wide world. Marvel at Tobermory's incredible inventions from what humans would consider 'trash'. And discover a whole Womble community as they head off around the world for even more adventures. This collection contains all six of the Wombles books, beautifully illustrated by Nick Price: The Wombles The Wandering Wombles The Wombles at Work The Invisible Womble and Other Stories The Wombles to the Rescue The Wombles Go Round the World

Great Uncle Bulgaria loves telling the ancient and revered history of the Womble clans to the younger Wombles. But to his great sadness he notices that the young Wombles are not nearly as interested in the history as he is. So Great Uncle Bulgaria decides to take action and show these young Wombles how wonderful - and international - the history of the Wombles is. Tobermory invents some very eco-friendly clockwork air balloons to travel in and Orinoco, Bungo, Tomsk and Wellington are sent variously to America, Tibet and Australia. In these interesting and far-flung places the young Wombles get quite as much excitement as they could wish for!
