Editorial Reviews

"In this engaging mélange of memoir, history and cultural study, British environmental writer and photographer Warwick details his love affair with hedgehogs, the unlikely sirens, and his career as a hedgehog advocate, convinced that the animal has much to tell humans about the way we live within what is left of the natural environment." —Publishers Weekly on The Hedgehog's Dilemma
