About this listen

 "If you buy one book this year make sure it's this one... Enchanting."
Daily Mail

"This charming book weaves hedgehogs into our hearts, our lives and our national identity."
John Witherow

A few days after her elderly father is admitted to hospital, Sarah Sands and her grandson find a poorly hedgehog in the garden. They name her Peggy, and her fate becomes a matter of pressing concern.

There is something about hedgehogs - homely and yet mysterious, prickly and defenceless, wild and tame - that makes us feel deeply sympathetic to them.

Having managed to outlive roads, dogs, strimmers and pesticides, hedgehogs are now an endangered species. For Sarah Sands, our failure to protect them is a symptom of our alienation from the living world.

But all is not yet lost. In this charming book, Sands explores the meaning and morals of hedgehogs, and finds, in hedgehog world, a source of deep solace and wisdom.©2023 Sarah Sands (P)2023 Hodder & Stoughton Limited Animals Biological Sciences Grief & Loss Outdoors & Nature Personal Development Personal Success Science

A wonderful story that delves into the reasons as to why humans are drawn to these absolutely adorable yet extraordinary little mammals. Loved it!

A beautiful story!
