I wonder if the reviewers who found the book"wonderfully entertaining" and "by turns hilarious" will feel the same when we are down to the last hedgehog and then suffering the same fate as the passenger pigeon and Eskimo curlew. Alan Wiseman in "The World Without Us" provides the answer for Tom Moorhouse and A Hedgehog Whodunnit "We Dunnitt" as we continue to eradicate species from the planet. Wiseman in Chapter One "A Lingering Scent of Eden-Bialowieza "forest primeval". Oh yes please, complete with hedgehogs and no us. The next cartoon in Private Eye characterising the book will depict the author holding the encased last hedgehog in a glass jar crying out did we get the DNA?
