About this book

For over a quarter of a century, this book, in its various editions, has remained the principal "popular" book on the hedgehog – a measure of its success and usefulness. The original Hedgehogs was first published in 1983, to acclaim: for the first time the secrets of one of our favourite backgarden animals were revealed. What was unusual about it was the lighthearted style combined with scientific information. Since 1983 Pat Morris has discovered more interesting facts about hedgehogs; the position of the hedgehog in Britain's countryside is no longer secure and the suitability of many backgardens has changed. Hence this new, expanded, updated edition.

The book aims to provide simple, factual and down-to-earth information about one of Britain's best loved wild creatures, a bumbling and endearing animal. Pat Morris explains the natural foraging, nesting and hibernating of hedgehogs as well as how we can help: putting out food for hedgehogs and how to help autumn orphans. Other subjects include implications of road kills, the Uist problem and slug pellets. The book is meant to reflect the fun and interest of hedgehogs.
