RSPB Pocket Book of Hedgehogs
Description
Step into the delightful, hidden world of hedgehogs with this beautifully crafted gift book.
This charming book combines engaging, accessible writing with delightful line illustrations, inviting you to learn how hedgehogs live in the wild, consider how we capture their character in our own stories, and understand how we can help them thrive – in our gardens and beyond.
The RSPB Pocket Book series celebrates iconic British wildlife and is produced in collaboration with the RSPB. Hugh Warwick, an expert on hedgehog biology and conservation, instils this beautiful book with his insight and enthusiasm for one of the British Isles' most beloved wild animals, making it an ideal gift or personal keepsake.
With Hugh's help, you'll enjoy quirky and lesser-known hedgehog facts, uncover the vital role hedgehogs play in garden ecosystems, and explore their place in folklore, mythology and cultural history. Hugh also highlights how making small changes in our gardens and communities can make a big difference for hedgehog survival.
With beautiful artworks and an inspiring message, this is ideal for nature lovers, gift buyers, and anyone with a soft spot for our prickly friends.
