Les and Sue Stocker have been running St Tiggywinkles Wildlife hospital for 13 years. In this book Les Stocker writes about everything from basic first aid for beginners to long-term care, treatment and diet for injured creatures. Since some 95% of wildlife casualties result from encounters with man and the unnatural world, this book helps to redress the balance. The Stockers run Europe's first wildlife teaching hospital, near Aylesbury, opened by Princess Alexandra in November 1991. Other books by the author include The Complete Hedgehog (1987), Something in a Cardboard Box (1989), The Hedgehog and Friends (1990) and The Complete Garden Bird (1991).
