About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The Wombles by Elisabeth Beresford, read by Bernard Cribbins.

Classic and much loved characters are brought to life in the complete and unabridged audio edition of The Wombles, read by Bernard Cribbins, the original voice of the Wombles.

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 . . .

I recommend the wombles to anyone whose kids won't go to sleep at night. It's super funny and relaxed at the same time!!! This book will take you away on a magical adventure. There are lessons being told almost all the time about recycling, friendship and much MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fabulous

This is a series of short stories, rather than one long one; perfect for a stop/start car journeys. It's ideal for younger audiences. If you like Winnie-the-Poo, then you'll love this. Lots of furry little creatures getting into scrapes - but nothing too frightening. Also Bernard Cribbins has a wonderful voice. Could listen to him for hours. Even my 7 yr old (Ben 10, Biker Mice from Mars) was enjoying it!

Lovely in a Winnie-the-Poo sort of a way

If you are looking for a fun book with great messages then this is the book for you. The book is great for children but can also be enjoyed by adults. Bernard Cribbins does a fantastic job bringing this fantastic world to life and overall it's just so much fun! Totally recommend!

I have always had the tales of the Wombles around me having always lived quite close to Wimbledon Common. I have not had the luck of being able to see them personally. I found the full collection of early tales of the Wombles highly delightful and full of humour. I was utterly unable to put the book down once tales had started and found that I needed to hear to the end of each tale before I could close the book. A wonderous collection of characters that are unique in their own ways and you will become endeared to them. A book everyone needs to read at least once.

Amazing collection of tales for all ages

I've never read it watched the wombles but I like it a lot I've already listened to it twice!Elizabeth Beresford was ahead of her time, thinking about littering. Personally I like Tomsk, he's so kind and smart but in his own way. Bye

Awesome story

How lovely to hear this, the sound quality is alright. The Wombles are obviously great! It is a delight to hear again and rI member the quality of children’s TV in ‘my day’. If you are thinking about buying this, go for it, you won’t be disappointed.

Lovely vintage children’s programme
