The
Wombles was a BBC children's TV series that lasted for two seasons (60
episodes) from 1974 to 1975, based on the collection of six Wombles
novels by Elisabeth Beresford. Some of the books
were re-published by Puffin Books with TV-themed covers. A feature-length
TV movie called 'Wombling Free' was broadcast in 1977 and novelised
in 1978. In addition there were a number of other books based on the
TV series. In 1996 a new animated series was made that ran for three
seasons (52 episodes) and aired from 1997 to 1998. Fifteen novelisations
were published in large format children's books by Hodder from 1998
to 2001.
