Silbly

Silbly is a fictional village that appears in the children's book series "The Wombles" by Elisabeth Beresford. The Wombles are a family of creatures who live underneath Wimbledon Common in London and are known for tidying up litter. Silbly is not the primary location of the Wombles' activities, but it is referenced in some of their adventures.

In the books, Silbly is often depicted as a nearby human settlement. The Wombles may venture to Silbly to gather discarded items or observe human activities. The village serves as a contrast to the natural environment of Wimbledon Common where the Wombles primarily reside. Unlike the bustling city of London, Silbly represents a more suburban or rural setting within the Wombles' world.

The presence of Silbly in the narratives allows for different plotlines and interactions between the Wombles and the human world. It provides a context for the Wombles to demonstrate their resourcefulness and their efforts to keep the environment clean, even beyond their immediate surroundings. While Wimbledon Common is central to their existence, Silbly is a recognizable element of the Wombles' expanded world.
