Your Lowly Hedgehog Knows takes a clear, fresh look at the physical world around us and finds it more startling and more heartening than the media would have us believe. It raises many questions and even answers some of them. How can a cat be a portal to the universe? Why did our ancestors make cave paintings? Who is Mr Bun? How do you write a tree? And, above all, what is it that your lowly hedgehog knows?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.

Reviews of DO NOT CALL THE TORTOISE:'Stunning - full of revelatory beauty' (Katherine May)'I am a great believer in STA. It is more than a book and has enriched my life deeply.' (Max Porter)'A hugely readable, empathetic and ingenious braiding of philosophy, poetry, art and history brought together with a love for the natural world to show how we yet might exist alongside it more fully.' (Owen Sheers) 'Imagine a 21st century Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, drenched in Worsdsworth and laced with Darwin. That's something, but only something, of 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 marvelloulsy important.' (Charles Foster) 'Wonderful, funny and profound.' (Jay Griffiths)
