Merry Christmas from Herisson and everyone at the Houseful of Hedgehogs!
Time: 1979 Place: St. Thomas, Virgin Islands
- 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.
If you are interested in a site discussing both wild and domesticated hedgehogs, visit The International Hedgehog Association.

LITTLE HEDGEHOG CHRISTMAS TREE
The little hedgehog Christmas tree is making its debut in the new house. The tiny rice lights don't make much of a showing next to some of the neighbors' displays, but I love it just the way it is.
I am astonished, but very glad, that people make hedgehog Christmas ornaments! I was fortunate enough to add a few new ones this year. I may be searching for a larger tree in a few years.
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!
