Uncle Bulgaria and friends womble back onto bookshelves
Elisabeth Beresford's Wombles are being returned to print by Bloomsbury, more than 40 years after the author first created them
It was addressed simply to "Elisabeth Beresford, creator of the Wombles, Alderney, The Channel Islands", but the letter sent by publisher Emma Matthewson in a last-ditch attempt to bring the Wombles books back into print reached its intended recipient – and Great Uncle Bulgaria, Orinoco and their pointy-nosed, environmentally-aware friends are now set to return to bookshops later this year.
