Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Wombles by Elisabeth Beresford Wombles Creator Elisabeth Beresford Dies, Aged 84 Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Wombles by Elisabeth Beresford Wombles creator Elisabeth Beresford dies, aged 84. Elisabeth Beresford, the writer best known for creating the much-loved children's television programme,The Wombles, has died. The 84-year-old invented the characters of the Wombles of Wimbledon Common, who became household names in the 1970s. Beresford died at 10.30pm yesterday in the Mignot Memorial hospital on Alderney, in the Channel Islands, after suffering heart failure, her son Marcus Robertson said. The first Wombles book was published in 1968 and, after it was broadcast on Jackanory, the BBC decided to make an animated series. Beresford wrote over 20 Wombles books within a decade, which were translated into more than 40 languages. She also wrote a Wombles stage show, one version of which ran in the West End. A total of 35 five-minute films were broadcast on BBC One accompanied by Mike Batt's music and the programme's synonymous theme tune, Underground Overground, Wombling Free. The characters were voiced by actor Bernard Cribbins and the puppets created by Ivor Wood. Beresford was inspired to create the characters by a child's mispronunciation one Christmas, when she took her children to Wimbledon Common for a Boxing Day stroll and her daughter Kate referred to the area as "Wombledon". A number of the characters she developed were based on members of her family. Great Uncle Bulgaria was based on her father-in-law, Tobermory on her brother (a skilled inventor), Orinoco, on her son, and Madame Cholet on her mother. Beresford was born in Paris in 1926, although her family home was in England. Her father, JD Beresford, was a successful novelist and book reviewer and friends of the family included HG Wells, George Bernard Shaw, W Somerset Maguham and DH Lawrence. Her own literary career began as a ghost writer, specialising in speeches, including for Conservative MPs. She then began training as a journalist and obtained work for the BBC as a radio reporter. In 1949, she married sports commentator sports Max Robertson, with whom she travelled to Australia, South Africa and the West Indies. The couple had a son and daughter together but divorced after 35 years. As well as the Wombles she wrote two TV series, Seven Days to Sydney and Come to the Caribbean. Beresford was awarded an MBE for her services to children's literature in the 1998 New Year's Honours List. This article was amended on 6 January 2011. The original said that Elisabeth Beresford was born in Paris in 1928. This has been corrected. ISBN 13: 9781408808375. The Wombles is the first in the Wombles series of books and introduces many of the favourite Womble characters, including the stern but kindly Great Uncle Bulgaria and Orinoco, fond of his food and a subsequent forty winks.Illustrated throughout in full colour by the talented Nick Price, this hardback edition of the first in the much-loved and classic Wombles series will make the perfect gift. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. Elisabeth Beresford first came up with the idea for the Wombles characters one day when walking on Wimbledon Common with her two children. The Wombles have since so charmed the nation that they were chosen as the mascots for the Tidy Britain campaign. Elisabeth Beresford was awarded an MBE for her services to children's literature in 1998.

Nostalgic adults will also love getting re-acquainted with the furry crew' --Saga. `This charming series is as relevant for young readers today as it was in the 1960's' --Primary Times. `Those of us of a certain age will be delighted to see the return of those famous residents of Wimbledon Common. Orinoco, Uncle Bulgaria and the rest are a charming and entertaining bunch, plus, with their litter-picking way, they can teach us all a thing or two about recycling' --Sunday Express. 'No kid should grow up without having the Wombles in their lives' --The Bookbag, June 2011. `The Wombles are back! A new generation of readers can delight in them, discovering their ethos and sharing in their most excellent and innocent of adventures. This is a masterstroke - I love them!' --Books Monthly. `Endearing adventures involving gathering and sorting rubbish, braving meetings with humans and dogs and, in the nicest possible way, making sure the world is a better place' --Julia Eccleshare Love Reading 4 Kids.

Elisabeth Beresford was inspired to create the Wombles by her daughter's mispronunciation during a Boxing Day romp across Wimbledon Common. The idea blossomed and the children's books and highly successful television series went on to conquer the world, being translated into over 40 languages. The Wombles' motto, "Make Good Use of Bad Rubbish", and their passion for recycling was years ahead of its time and captured the imagination of children everywhere, who began to organise Womble Clearing Up Groups. In all, 35 five-minute films were broadcast on BBC1, accompanied by Mike Batt's music and The Wombles theme song, "Underground, Overground, Wombling Free". There was even pop chart success with "Remember You're a Womble", which reached No 4 in 1974, and then again in 2000 with "I Wish It Could Be a Wombling Merry Christmas Every Day". The inspiration had come to Beresford when, in order to give her parents-in-law some quiet after Christmas, she took her two young children to Wimbledon Common to let off some steam. While there, her daughter Kate shouted, "Ma, isn't it great on Wombledon Common?" Beresford recalled thinking, "that's it, that's where the Wombles come from." That same day, she made a list of names and based each Womble on a different family member. At the head of the Womble hierarchy was Great Uncle Bulgaria, based on her father-in-law; Tobermory was based on her brother (a skilled inventor); Orinoco her son; and Madame Cholet Coburg-Womble was inspired by her royalty-obsessed mother. The Wombles' names came from sources as different as the town where Beresford's daughter went on a French exchange and the name of the college attended by a nephew. The first Wombles book was published in 1968, and the stories made their television debut the same year, broadcast on BBC1's Jackanory series. The BBC were delighted by the response and decided to make an animated series. They were, however, less enamoured by Beresford's own character drawings. Thus, the head of children's programming, Monica Sims, commissioned the puppeteer Ivor Wood to create the Womble characters and direct the series. He later animated Paddington Bear and Postman Pat. After some set-backs, Wood's designs for creatures with long pointed snouts, thick prehensile fingers and ill-fitting costumes and headgear were accepted. Characterised by actor Bernard Cribbins's wonderful voices, the first animated series of The Wombles appeared on the nation's screens in 1973. It was an overnight success and the series soon went global. As its popularity grew, fan-mail arrived by the sackful and Beresford found herself on live phone-ins and travelling all over the world. She was tireless in promoting these initiatives around the world, as well as supporting the cause of recycling. Wombles mania took hold during the 1970s and 80s, spawning all sorts of merchandising including soft toys, mugs, annuals, soaps and stationery – a relatively rare feat at the time. Beresford wrote 20 Wombles books, which were sold worldwide, and she adapted the stories into a stage show herself (1974), one version of which ran in the West End. This was followed by the film Wombling Free (1977), directed by Lionel Jeffries and starring David Tomlinson, Frances de la Tour and Bonnie Langford. In 1998, on the 25th anniversary of their first TV appearance, the Wombles were relaunched in a cartoon version. The food chain McDonald's even went so far as to give away nearly 13 million collectible mini-Wombles in a four-week Happy Meal promotion in 1999.

  • St Andrew's Chesterton Midnight Eucharist 2012 I Was Born and Bred in a House on the Road Between Kingston and Wimbledon
    St Andrew’s Chesterton Midnight Eucharist 2012 I was born and bred in a house on the road between Kingston and Wimbledon. I went to school on Wimbledon Common in the era when a number one song in the hit parade could be performed on ‘Top of the Pops’ by a group of furry creatures with long noses. Underground, overground, wombling free, the Wombles of Wimbledon Common are we. The Wombles were always there doing their work of keeping the common tidy, unnoticed and unregarded. People don’t notice us, they never see, under their noses a Womble may be. When I moved on from the world of the Wombles to the world of the Church of England I noticed that some things hadn’t changed very much. Lots of dressing up in strange costumes and singing songs, for instance. Same meters too – did you know that you can sing the Wombling song to the tune of ‘Abide with me’ – try it at home or make a party game of it tomorrow. A more serious similarity is that the omnipresence of the Wombles on their common is matched by the omnipresence of the Church of England in our green and pleasant land. Every square inch of England is in a parish and every parish has a church and every church has a priest, albeit that he or she may be shared with an increasing number of others. But people don’t seem to notice it, that under their noses the Church is working away very often cleaning up the mess that people have left and the mess they are in, and ensuring that this remains a green and pleasant land, physically, morally and spiritually.

Please send any content for future releases to [email protected] GCRs Remember They Are Wombles This week’s Run Leader Challenge was to strengthen those wombling muscles and help clean up our beautiful Garden City at the same time as keeping active. Run Leader Rob Lawrence challenged us in wombling verse: “Underground, overground, wombling free The Wombles of Welwyn Garden City Making good use of the things that we find Things that the everyday folks leave behind.” The challenge was to make like a Womble, going underground and overground through subways, underpasses and tunnels and over bridges, and, as an optional extra, pick up some of the rubbish that’s built up during this period of lockdown. GCRs rising to this challenge included Willow Gibson and Debbie Pierson, wombling at Stanborough Lakes; Nikki Cowen, who wombled around Hatfield House picking up litter as she went; Jen Denman, who wombled under 4 underpasses and over 6 bridges; Alison Meaden; Karen Atkinson, who channelled Madame Cholet in her wombling wedding anniversary run around the Ayot Greenway, and James Benfold (above), who wins our Womble of the Week award by going over and under 32 bridges and underpasses without once crossing his own path.
