ReviewsA welcome visitor heard rustling through our hedges or spotted shufing across our lawns, hedgehogs are a celebrated addition to every garden and their proper care and conservation valuable to numerous other species. Through informative chapters ranging from the physiological and environmental to the inclusion of the hedgehog in myth, legend, art and literature, The Hedgehog Book is an ideal guide to its subject for all nature lovers, beautifully illustrated throughout with new photography and artwork., Praise for A Prickly Affair - The Charm of the Hedgehog: "the most glorious mad book...a charming book and will take your mind off everything." -- Jeanette Winterson "...an autobiographical yarn...that is at once humorous, touching and obsessive...An oddly satisfying read." -- New Scientist "This is an utterly charming book, it is funny and gently serious." -- Jay Griffiths "This is a useful and entertaining book, and unsentimental." -- The Spectator "A truly eccentric global story of hog lore." -- Hay Book Festival "There's more than a whiff of the legendary naturalist Gerald Durrell here -- his humor, his affection and his never-ending curiosity." -- LA Times Praise for Hedgehogs: Oxford Times "Hugh Warwick's book Hedgehog is a delight for anyone of any age..." -- Smallholder Magazine "With hedgehogs on the decline this is a wonderful insight into the world of one of our favourite creatures." -- British Hedgehog Preservation Society CEO, Fay Vas "I would really recommend this unique book to anyone with an interest in hedgehogs. Despite taking a serious look at some of the big issues, Hugh Warwick manages to sprinkle his trademark wit and charm throughout." "An ecologically sophisticated Enid Blyton." -- Charles Foster, Oldie Magazine "Part discovery, part wonderment, both a travel narrative and a scientific exploration, Linescapes could change the way we perceive our land and its inhabitants forever" -- Miriam Darlington, author of Otter Country "Eye-opening and inspiring. Linescapes has utterly transformed my vision of the British countryside. Hugh Warwick offers a compelling primer for rethinking and rewilding our fragmented natural world." -- Roman Krznaric, author of Empathy and Carpe Diem Regained "Accessible and entertaining... Linescapes has given me hope for the future." -- Stephen Trotter, Director, Wildlife Trust, England "I will never again look at a hedgerow or dyke in the same way. This is a beautifully crafted book which elegantly explains why and how our UK landscape has comes to look like a patchwork quilt - with each section of the quilt joined together by human-created needlework in the form of hedgerows, ditches, dykes, paths, green lanes, canals, roads... This book is both timely and essential reading. I can't recommend it highly enough" -- Kathy Willis, Director of Science, Kew Gardens
