Welcome back, Wombles!

It's fantastic to see Elisabeth Beresford's Wombles books back in print.

Well done to Bloomsbury for putting these timeless classics back on the shelves at our bookstores.

I've always found it incredible that Beresford's tales, which were ahead of their time in highlighting the importance of looking after the environment, should ever have dropped out of favour.

Anyway, they're back, with gorgeous new covers.

I'll write more about Great Uncle Bulgaria, Orinoco, Tobermory, Madame Cholet and the rest soon.

Happy Wombling!
