WordPress

Feels a little disloyal, to post this here, but I have not used blogger for years - having moved everything to WordPress - where you can find out far more about hedgehogs than you ever thought of asking!

Please follow that link to see what I have been up to. I also have a website

and a second blog about my new book - Beauty in the Beast
http://beabeautyst.wordpress.com/
Hope to see you there
thanks

A Prickly Affair: My Life With Hedgehogs

After rather more sweat, blood and tears than I imagined, my book is ready, almost. It is, as I write this, at the printers - and A Prickly Affair will be on the bookshelves from 30th October ... or you can pre-order now from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prickly-Affair-My-Life-Hedgehogs/dp/184614065X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222195807&sr=8-1

ugghh - that looks horrid ... just search on Amazon for Hugh Warwick ... and you can get a massive discount (I am not sure if that is a good thing or not ... for me that is)

So many thanks are owed to the hundreds of people who contacted me with stories - some of which have made it into the book

Now I just hope you all enjoy it as much as I want you too!

hugh's hedgehog

A dream has come true - over 20 years since I started to study hedgehogs, I have been commissioned me to write about them, about their behaviour and ecology, about the impact that we have on them and they have on us. This blog will chart the progress of the book, but will also be a place where I start to share some of the stories I receive from around the world.

You see I don't want to just stick to the scientific journals when describing hedgehog behaviour, I want stories from people who have seen the behaviour themselves. I want to know what folklore is attached to the animal. I want to know why there is such a global passion for such an unlikely animal.

So if you want to know more about hedgehogs, revisit this site, read what others contribute - and tell everyone you know that there is a strange man in Oxford, England, trying to find out everything there is to know about this amazing animal.
