Gareth Howell-Jones talks to Owen Sheers

Your Lowly Hedgehog Knows

 – Writers at Work Hub – Hwb Awduron wrth eu Gwaith

Our own Festival bookseller and author of Do Not Call the Tortoise returns to the stage to discuss his new book, which offers a quietly revolutionary perspective on our surroundings with the help of poets, trees, cats (of course), and, most of all, an openness to wonder. It raises many questions, and even answers some of them. How can a cat be a portal to the universe? Why did our ancestors make cave paintings? And, above all, what is it that your lowly hedgehog knows? In conversation with Owen Sheers.

"Says more about our relations with a living planet than an entire library of other Nature books. I couldn't recommend it more highly." - Mark Cocker
