A story about Cuddy Noakes, who imaginatively convinces two children visiting his English seaside village to hunt for wrecked treasure ships, only to involve the entire town in the search
Elisabeth "Liza" Beresford MBE was a British author of children's books, best known for creating The Wombles. Born into a family with many literary connections, she worked as a journalist but struggled for success until she created the Wombles in the 1960s. The strong theme of recycling was particularly notable, and the Wombles became very popular with children across the world. While Beresford produced many other literary works, the Wombles remained her most well known creation.
