Gareth Howell-Jones - Your Lowly Hedgehog Knows - Book Talk
Are you looking for a quietly revolutionary way to look at the world?
Join Gareth Howell-Jones for a talk about his latest book Your Lowly Hedgehog Knows.
Your Lowly Hedgehog Knows takes a clear, fresh look at the physical world around us and finds it more startling and more heartening than the media would have us believe. 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? Who is Mr Bun? How do you write a tree? And, above all, what is it that your lowly hedgehog knows?
Like the previous volume Do Not Call the Tortoise, Hedgehog offers a quietly revolutionary new/old world-view with the help of poets, biologists, woodlice, trees, John Lennon, cats (of course), a record-breaking vulture and, most of all, an openness to wonder.
'A hugely readable, empathetic and ingenious braiding of philosophy, poetry, art and history brought together with a love for the natural world to show how we yet might exist alongside it more fully.' (Owen Sheers)
Gareth Howell-Jones is a garden designer, bookseller and author of Do Not Call the Tortoise. He has reviewed for the Guardian, Spectator and Literary Review. He lives on the Welsh/English border.
