The Wombles by Elisabeth Beresford

The Wombles live in a warm and cosy burrow beneath Wimbledon Common. They like nothing better than a good tidy-up and luckily the Wombles' burrow is the perfect place to sort and recycle all the rubbish that careless Human Beings leave behind!
 
One day, two of the younger Wombles, Bungo and Orinoco, venture on to the Common for the first time. Large and nosiy dogs and dangerously windy weather are just the beginning of mnay adventures!
