A book of five self-contained, (yet connected) stories featuring an
adventurous group of mostly young hedgehogs and other woodland
animals who live together in High Brooms woods near Hedgebridge
Wells. Led by a core group of hedgehogs, these anthropomorphic
creatures combine talents to put on a "Gala Ballet Night". In the
"Voyage of the Jersey Royal" they build and sail a boat to a
mysterious island in a pond, where, after a number of scary
adventures, they rescue two marooned dormice. With the arrival of
the hedgehogs' French cousin Herve, three of the young hedgehogs
later decide to visit France. In the story "Shaky Prickle Night",
the hedgehog gang share forgotten children's customs which used to
be practised through Hallowe'en and Mischief Night. The final
story, "A Summer in France", puts the three young hedgehogs in
contact with their own little counterpart society in a woodland in
Northern France. They quickly adapt to the new environment and help
to bring about a Grand Village Sports Day, inventing a completely
new and exciting event - the Medley Relay (le Relais Mixte) which
allows all the woodland communities to compete together for the
first time. The stories were originally shared with grandchildren
and a grandfather's voice can still be heard throughout the book. A
book to treasure - filled with lavishly illustrated, exciting
stories of woodland adventures in England and France, where you
can't help but warm to these animal characters and all their
achievements.
