"This vital, prescient, kind and companionable book.. Here is the wisdom of the hedgerow and the mountain; the power of entanglement; the electricity of encounter. Marvellous and marvellously important." - Charles Foster 

In Your Lowly Hedgehog Knows, Gareth Howell-Jones looks at the simple, everyday things around us – trees, woodlice, cats, people and, of course, hedgehogs – to develop a radical and heartening world-view based on nature rather than cultural traditions.

Your Lowly Hedgehog Knows takes a clear, fresh look at the natural world and finds it more startling and more heartening than the media would have us believe. Like the previous volume Do Not Call the Tortoise, Hedgehog offers a quietly revolutionary new/old world-view with the help of poets, biologists, woodlice, trees, John Lennon, cats (of course), a record-breaking vulture and, most of all, an openness to wonder.
