The Wombles live in a beautifully snug, well-ordered and cosy burrow
underneath Wimbledon Common - the perfect base from which to sort and
recycle all the rubbish that unthinking humans constantly drop. But the
Wombles' peaceful and harmonious existence is suddenly under threat. The
heavy lorries that thunder along the roads near the Common make the
burrow shake and tremble so much that it is no longer safe for the
Wombles to live there. With a heavy heart, Great Uncle Bulgaria decides
that the Wombles will have to move from the burrow that they have lived
in for many, many years. And it is up to young Bungo and Orinoco to
bravely sally forth and try to locate a new home for the Wombles . . .
