The Wombles Go round the World (16 page)
Wombles choose their names from places, cities and rivers found in Great Uncle Bulgaria's atlas of the world.
Young Wombles spend their time in the Womblegarten, run by Miss Adelaide Womble, until they are old enough to tidy up outside.
Midsummer's Eve is the most important night in the Wombles' year. They have a big party and eat far too much.
There are Womble burrows all over the world, including Hyde Park in London, Loch Ness in Scotland, Yellowstone Park in the USA, and the Khyber Pass on the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The main burrow is underneath Wimbledon Common, South-west London.
Fortune and Bason is Orinoco's favourite shop.
Great Uncle Bulgaria's middle name is Coburg.
