Tambow
Charles Lamb
Paperback
(Olympia Publishers, Dec. 17, 2010)
A hugely appealing story about the adventures of two wombats, Wombi and her son Tambow, kept as curiosities in a travelling circus, a long time ago. Tambow is irrepressible, full of bounce and lovable charm. One day, when Marvello's Magical Circus is travelling across a lonely moor, an accident occurs, breaking the bars on their cage. Freedom beckons. Seizing the opportunity, Tambow and his mother, Wombi, are launched on a journey full of humour and excitement, danger and dark moments, as they escape from the circus and follow their adventurous quest to return to their homeland. Swept up in the story, the reader travels with the two and delights in the unexpected conclusion.
