"The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is not only a
thought-provoking, discussion-worthy story, the book itself is an
object of art."
-- New York Times"The world that I long
to inhabit is the one that Charlie Mackesy has created - a world of
infinite kindness, wisdom, mutual care and tenderness, and true
love between real friends. My prayer/hope is that our world will
become more like this one." -- Elizabeth Gilbert, New
York Times bestselling author of Eat, Pray, Love and
Big MagicI felt this book down to my core. --
Hoda KotbLove, friendship, and kindness--this book
speaks a universal language. -- Bear GryllsA
wonderful work of art and a wonderful window into the human heart
-- Richard CurtisSimply, the world need's
Charlie's work right now. -- Miranda Hart"A sweet
tale rendered in swirly black calligraphy and watercolor. Childlike
in its simplicity, its messages are universal. . . . Mackesy has
brought people together." -- The Washington
Post"A lonely boy ambles through the countryside on a
spring day, finding companionship: first meeting the mole, then the
other animals of the title. As they walk, the new friends talk,
wonder, share their hopes and fears and pose some big questions. .
. . A big hit." -- The Philadelphia
Inquirer"A delightful treat of a book. . . . If there
were classes on how to be a good person, this book would be the
textbook." -- Horse Nation
