Quipic the Hedgehog, Pere Castor

What a deliciously enchanting story by Pere Castor, about a little hedgehog who enjoys going for solitary walks, only to end up having many an exciting adventure. Quipic encounters travellers who are intent on cooking him in clay and a snake who likes to pick a good fight. Our brave and gallant knight wages a merciless war on all vipers and manages to outsmart those ravenous humans all by himself! This story is fantastic and beautifully illustrated and the lithographs by Rojan are so fresh with colour. It reminds me of stories that my grandma used to tell me when I was little, about the wildlife that surrounded her farm in Iselsberg.
