Produktbeschreibung

The first in a series of witty, philosophical and touching animal novels for adults, which have sold more than a million copies in the Netherlands and become international bestsellers __________ 'Only one question remains: is he a writer or a genius? I suspect the latter' De Morgen 'Toon Tellegen's short stories provide endless pleasure, because you can read them over and over, and then you have to read them out loud as well, again and again' Die Zeit 'Moving and entertaining... As much as he twists, exaggerates, shrinks and fools around, he never hides his subject matter: recognizable behaviour and human emotions' De Volkskrant __________ The hedgehog is lonely. So he writes a letter, inviting the animals of the forest to visit. But before he can post it, doubts start flooding his mind. What if they all come at once? What if no one comes at all? What if they judge his prickles? And how will he cope with Rhino's clumsy dancing, Bear's enormous appetite, Toad's explosive anger... Perhaps, he decides, it's better if no one visits him at all. As winter draws in, can anything save the hedgehog from himself?
