The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse By Charlie Mackesy

This book is certainly different in every way to the books we normally recommend but nonetheless one we couldn’t recommend more!

We have known of Charlie for a number of years now. We have enjoyed hearing him speak on various of occasions. We have been to exhibitions of his work and avidly follow his creativity and musings on Instagram. In fact, along with many others, via social media, we have watched his journey in making this book a reality.

Charlie has been a cartoonist for The Spectator and a Book illustrator for Oxford University Press. He collaborated with Richard Curtis for Comic relief, and Nelson Mandela on a lithograph project entitled ‘The Unity Series.’

In this book Charlie uses his amazing gift of inspiring others with his wonderful drawings and uplifting quotes. You will be encouraged and strengthened by his profound sense of empathy which comes across in every page. If you are anything like us, you will treasure this book.

We really believe this book feeds the soul in such a fresh and winsome way. We have no commercial interest in this book at all but … we think every home ought to have a copy somewhere! If you’re stuck on what to buy someone for Christmas this would be an ideal gift.

As Richard Curtis says, it is “A wonderful work of art and a wonderful window into the human heart.”
