I first saw\u003cbr\u003e'Hedgehog in the Fog' as a film student in the early 1980s and became instantly enchanted. Like many I was immediately drawn into his sensual world by the richness of the aural and visual landscapes he creates. Norstein's films are magical and atmospheric, lovingly and masterfully executed. His story-telling and illustration style is earthy and rich in symbols which are beautiful in themselves - but one senses there is a lot more hidden behind them.\" Nick\u003cbr\u003ePark, The creator of Wallace and Gromit and Chicken\u003cbr\u003eRun and four times Oscar-winner \u003cbr\u003eHedgehog in the Fog is an international bestseller which has already been published in many languages.
