Children’s stories about a hedgehog in stripy socks.
Henry the Hedgegnome’s Great Aunt Hogerty is staying at the zoo, but when Henry visits her to deliver some gifts, his dealings with the other animals land him in all sorts of trouble.
When we heard that Dartmoor Zoo was creating a hedgehog rescue centre called The Prickly Hedge Lodge we knew we wanted to get involved. So, Henry’s new adventure takes him to the zoo. It’s a wonderful place, and we think you’ll like it.
And there are plenty of funny new characters to meet along the way.
