From the revered British illustrator, a modern fable for all ages that explores life’s universal lessons, featuring 100 color and black-and-white drawings.
“What do you want to be when you grow up?” asked the mole.
“Kind,” said the boy.
Charlie Mackesy offers inspiration and hope in uncertain times in this beautiful book based on his famous quartet of characters. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse explores their unlikely friendship and the poignant, universal lessons they learn together.
Radiant with Mackesy’s warmth and gentle wit, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse blends hand-written narrative with dozens of drawings, including some of his best-loved illustrations (including “Help,” which has been shared over one million times) and new, never-before-seen material. A modern classic in the vein of The Tao of Pooh, The Alchemist, and The Giving Tree, this charmingly designed keepsake will be treasured for generations to come.

This is the best and most relevant book I have read in years. Lessons for all ages.
The sweetest story - I love it and plan to buy more copies to share with my grown children.
the book is a great gift for a special occasion, like a graduation, job promotion or even that special birthday. It is good for teens and adults. It will be a treasured book kept out to be looked at again and again.
Each page is a stand alone piece of advice for living. But together it makes a charming story
The print is cursive writing which can be difficult for people with poor eyesight to read
It’s a beautiful story, a parable about living as we’re meant to live.
It’s a story that you can read starting from just about anywhere
Nothing - just wanted it to go on forever, which in a way it does in the lives of readers
