Three new hedgehogs have joined the housefulofhedgehogs collection just before Christmas. The lovely iron fellow came from Colorado, a gift from my brother and sister-in-law. Konker, the Blue Nose Friend is currently being sold at Barnes and Noble and was a gift from my cousin. My first new hedgehog ornament of 2011 is an early gift from a dear friend. It's a beautiful blown-glass hedgehog with fuzz all over--so cute. It will be adorning the hedgehog Christmas tree soon!

- A small, round object caught my eye. Now, 30 years later, I have a houseful of hedgehogs.
About the Weblog
- This weblog is mainly for hedgehog lovers and mostly for fun. At first, I collected hedgehogs because I thought they were cute. When I began to learn more about the little creatures, I found they are becoming endangered in the wild due to habitat destruction and accidental death by cars and farm machinery. My wish is to bring some happiness and amusement to others who also love hedgehogs. In addition, I hope that more people will learn about the plight of these harmless little animals, and do what they can to protect them.
Visit the British Hedgehog Preservation Society to learn more about wild hedgehogs.

The Roundabout Hedgehog Journey
- Thanks to a chance meeting, my book found its illustrator. In Stratford-upon-Avon, my husband and I met a British man who happens to live in the US. We eventually reunited in Florida, where I met his wife Nancy. During our first conversation, she said, "I've always wanted to illustrate a children's book." Luckily, I had written one!
