Tambow is a young wombat, irrepressible and full of bounce. Escaping from a circus, he starts a hilarious, sometimes scary, quest to get home.
Imagine . Two wombats kept as curiosities in a travelling circus in the early 1900s, in rural England. One captured in Australia and brought to England by sea, the other her young son, Tambow, born in captivity.
Tambow is irrepressible, full of bounce and lovable charm, and one day when the circus is travelling to a new venue, an accident occurs ……………
“Look, look, look!” shrieked Tambow excitedly, pointing to the end of the cage. “I broke the bars as well, wasn’t that good, didn’t I do well?” He wasn’t going to be put off by explanations of broken wheels.
Sure enough, some of the bars at the end of the cage had bent and jumped out of place, leaving a gap just big enough for a wombat to get through. Beyond, the moor and freedom beckoned............................
Seizing the opportunity, the two wombats are launched on a story 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.
