"Discover the enchanting world of hedgehogs: from Alice's whimsical encounter with a Flamingo to the unlikely battle between a Lobster and a Hedgehog. 🦔✨ Intriguingly, there are various species of hedgehogs that have captured our fascination throughout history. From the Bewick Hedgehog, depicted in intricate illustrations dating back to 1803, to the adorable young European Hedgehog anointing itself with saliva froth on a moonlit garden lawn in Yorkshire. Did you know that even fairy tales feature these spiky creatures? Take Grimm's tale of Hans the Hedgehog, where he defies expectations and proves his worth. Just like Alice during her croquet match - who would have thought she'd be accompanied by a hedgehog? But it's not just folklore that celebrates these delightful animals; they also find themselves amidst other curious subjects. Like Funghi's captivating mushroom illustrations from 1869, where mushrooms and hedgehogs coexist harmoniously. Speaking of harmony, picture two young European Hedgehogs standing proudly on a garden lawn at night in Yorkshire. Their presence adds charm to any landscape as they explore their surroundings under September's starry sky. Let us not forget about artistic depictions either. The vibrant colors of the Hedge-Hog lithograph bring this creature to life in ways words cannot describe. And for those seeking something more exotic, meet the Long-eared Hedgehog - Hemiechinus auritus - boasting its unique features. Lastly, indulge yourself in "The Full, True, and Authentic History" engraving showcasing Mr Snaffle-Tracy Junior having his name featured in newspapers thanks to an extraordinary event involving none other than our beloved hedgehogs.
