CHRISTMAS EVE SUSPENSE STORY with MUSICAL THEME: Bears are dashing through the snow in this classic travelogue through a rural, pristine winter scene. They are being pulled in their distinctly renewable energy sleigh by a single (unionized) horse. No sleigh-jackers appear to be laying in wait. We see Papa Bear cracking a whip but only to scientifically split snowflakes in half (union rule). Along the way, they offer rides to varied species not even LIKE them, and they ALL have a good time. Is there room for one more? Santa and his luggage need a ride as his 6 reindeer are abed with a possibly communicable disease. Yes, they make room, and all the animals become Santa's helpers (as volunteers, so as not to wrinkle their unemployment status). The horse looked in need of a long winter's sleep and deserves far more credit than she/he gets. But, the bells WERE jingling all the way, and oh, what FUN to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, eh? And, many paws made light Senior Citizen Santa's workload and one-night escape from his assisted living home. He'll need the whole next 364 days and nights to prepare the stimulus packages paperwork with various angencies in supplying next year's trip. If he remembers.

About Hedgehog's Whimsey Books

Hedgehog's Whimsey Books was born in a random moment when I decided to become a used books seller. Beginning in 2001, I apprenticed myself with a longtime pro in the next town, hoping to learn her secrets. She encouraged my free help but was wary of sharing all those secrets. Nonetheless, she turned me loose when she felt I would not embarrass her; she was impressed, finding I actually knew something about books and authors and styles. I am still learning, and I am having a good time with the random avalanches of books to be recycled into good homes, one by one. Inventory has mounted: my mother downsized her 7,000-plus library, and we (my Geezer and I) went to library book sales, yard emporiums on weekends, estate dispersals, and added the books my kids left behind, wanting to stock their own shelves anew. Some folks simply tooled down our dirt road and left boxes on our porch. Myself? Well, I am also a photographer, journalist, curious stuff collector, avid reader, writer, editor, small-time publisher, and online pontificator. At Hedgehog Enterprises, I do "Words & Pictures by & for Folks with Prickly Backs, Soft Bellies, & Small Brains", established in 1991. Since I have the smallest brain (by unpopular vote), I am the Head Hedgehog. Do I specialize in particular genres? I thought I did, but my barn has lots of Geezer-built shelves, and we have many interests, so topics vary, as do book conditions and editions. I try to describe such, and sometimes have too much fun as I poke along. There is no charge for the therapy of browsing, folks, so find my sites and stay awhile. If a purchase results, know that the tax collector in Newport, New Hampshire, may get a pleasant surprise. Or, I may buy a few more apple cider donuts or sweet potatoes. No pressure. Hedgehogs do have yearnings. If you should visit by chance or by appointment, enjoy our old New Hampshire farmhouse location alongside the Sugar River and its companion recreation Rail Trail, nearby two historic railroad covered bridges just off Chandlers Mill Road. Feel welcome. -- Lucy G Wells, proprietor.
