While living in Scotland in the late 70s, I used to read my children a book about Harriet, the Hedgehog. That may have been the title or perhaps it was just the name of the main character, I can’t remember. Now I would like to read that story to my grandchildren, but can’t find it. Can you help me, please?
Thank you.
I checked with my Scottish family. The answer is:
Victoria Brock
her website is: http://victoriabrockauthor.co.uk
There you will find your treasured Harriet
I think that Ms. Brock’s Harriet the Hedgehog is a newer book than the one being sought here.
Victoria Brock notes that she wrote it for her twin nieces who were diagnosed with leukemia in September 2009, within a week of each other.
Could it be Mr. and Mrs. Hedgehog by Patricia Ardley published in 1936? Henry and Harriet are twins who are so mischievous that they get sent to school.
I am looking for what I think is the same book. Did Harriet wear red high heels? That is the thing I remember best. This was my baby brother’s favorite book. He recently passed away and my mother would really like to find a copy. Please let me know if you ever found out anything more.
I too am looking for a childhood book from the 70s the title I thought I remember is Harriet hedgehog in her red shoes?
Did you ever find a copy?
Yes she did wear cute little shoes high heels lol i loved this book i used to read it all the time as a kid way back in early 70s i CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE if u have will u let me know PLEASE
