Hedley loves to explore. His adventures begin when a timid mouse named Marvin, joins him on his journey across the British countryside. On the way they meet a wise old hedgehog, rescue a young rabbit and narrowly escape being cooked in a poacher’s pot. When they arrive at their new home, they barely have time to settle in before Hedley’s nose leads them into new adventures.

‘The Adventures of Hedley the Hedgehog is a delightful book that will charm young children and their parents alike .Valerie Walker’s gentle evocative prose complemented by Susan Waldie’s magical illustrations make this a book that children will want to read or have read to them, again and again.’
