A Prickly Affair - by Hugh Warwick

Obsession, persecution and passion: the hedgehog may be small but it attracts strong feelings. And Hugh Warwick is not immune. Travelling through fields in Devon and up to the islands of Scotland, visiting hedgehog hospitals across Britain and the International Hedgehog Olympic Games in the USA, exploring China on the trail of the rare hedgehog species hughi, recorded only twelve times in a hundred years, Hugh sets out to answer our questions about hedgehogs, from the practical to the sublime.
