About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Wombles to the Rescue by Elisabeth Beresford, read by Jamie Demetriou.

Join in the adventures of the Wombles, the classic and much loved creatures, as they make good use of the bad rubbish they find on Wimbledon Common, in this book by the original creator of the Wombles.

The Wombles have just gratefully returned to their burrow on Wimbledon Common. They had had to leave because heavy lorries thundering up and down the nearby road threatened to make the roof of the burrow cave in.

However, now that the Wombles are safely back, there is another problem they have to contend with. It seems that the humans have realised they have an energy crisis and are throwing much less away. The Wombles' supplies begin to run low. What can the Wombles do? It is time for EMERGENCY SPECIAL PROJECTS – with DIY king Tobermory in charge!

Abridged editions of some of the Wombles stories can be heard on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds for Christmas 2023.©2011 Elisabeth Beresford (P)2023 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
