The Boy the Mole, the Fox and the Horse - a book for all ages



What started out as a collection of illustrations on Instagram quickly became a beautifully written and illustrated book by cartoonist and illustrator Charlie Mackesy. 

Shortlisted for Waterstones book of the year in 2019, the book is about four characters who “represent different parts of the same person,”- “the inquisitive boy, the mole who’s enthusiastic but a bit greedy, the fox who’s been hurt so is withdrawn from life, slow to trust but wants to be part of things, and the horse who’s the wisest bit, the deepest part of you, the soul.”
