Elisabeth Beresford, MBE (; 6 August 1926 – 24 December 2010), also known as Liza Beresford, was an English 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 late 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 best-known creation.
