Then he was found—on the other side of the world, in Australia—and his extraordinary story began to come to light: a Labour cabinet minister and a devoted family man, also in a long-term affair with his secretary, and a spy for the Czech State Security agency, who had committed fraud and attempted to fake his own death to escape catastrophic business failures.

Hedgehog is waiting for his friend Tortoise to wake up. Hedgehog's friends are all very lovely, but they just aren't as much fun at the beach, or at hide-and-seek, or at holding hands, or at hugs. Tortoise has been dreaming of Hedgehog. And the hug that follows is their best yet!
