Summary
A natural and cultural history of the hedgehog, an animal that has had a close connection with people since the dawn of civilization. This book explores the symbolism of the animal, from Romans who regarded it as a weather prophet, to Sonic the Hedgehog and children’s books today. Hedgehog also describes the evolution, behaviour, habitat, and diet of this beautiful, and now threatened, icon of wildlife.

Critics Review
“Oxford ecologist Hugh Warwick’s book Hedgehog is a delight for anyone of any age who admires the hedgehog… . It explores how this charming little creature has propelled itself into our hearts, not just because of Mrs Tiggy-Winkle, Sonic the Hedgehog, or the fact that it keeps our gardens free of slugs, but because it’s a wild animal we can connect with.” – “Oxford Times”
