In the enchanting world of children's literature, a group of curious kids gather around to observe the fascinating creature known as "le herisson" - the hedgehog. This delightful scene is taken from "Afternoon Tea: Rhymes for Children, " a charming book of poems by Frederick Warne & Co, a renowned London publisher. But our journey into the realm of hedgehogs doesn't stop there. Let us travel back in time to circa 1890 when Urson, an intriguing character from the Alphabet of Grotesques, captivated imaginations with its portrayal of a hedgehog-like figure. Ancient Egyptian art also pays homage to these spiky creatures. In Beni Hasan and Heliopolis, during the 12th-13th Dynasty, depictions of hedgehogs alongside jerboas adorned their artwork, showcasing nature's diversity. Fast forward to more recent times and we discover that even hairstyles have been inspired by these prickly mammals. In 1783, people embraced the unique charm of sporting a "hedgehog hairstyle. " Women would adorn their hairdos with feathers or ribbons resembling this adorable creature's quills. Nature enthusiasts will be thrilled to know about Rosa horrida – an exquisite species named after its resemblance to our beloved hedgehog. Its thorny exterior hides delicate beauty within just like how true friends are often discovered beneath tough exteriors. The performing arts have not been immune to incorporating these captivating animals either. An opera featuring an ensemble cast including a porcupine (un porc-epic), dog (un chien), and heron (un heron) takes center stage in this whimsical production that delights audiences young and old alike. Artistic expressions continue throughout history as evidenced by Henri-Joseph Harpignies' masterpiece titled "Road at Ha risson. " Painted in 1911 using black brush strokes on canvas, this French artist captures the essence of a tranquil path surrounded by nature's beauty.
