The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and the Horse

From British illustrator, artist, and author Charlie Mackesy comes a journey for all ages that explores life's universal lessons, featuring 100 color and black-and-white drawings.

Charlie Mackesy offers inspiration and hope in uncertain times in this beautiful book, following the tale of a curious boy, a greedy mole, a wary fox and a wise horse who find themselves together in sometimes difficult terrain, sharing their greatest fears and biggest discoveries about vulnerability, kindness, hope, friendship and love. The shared adventures and important conversations between the four friends are full of life lessons that have connected with readers of all ages.

In the vein of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince, we have found that this book is as suitable for a gift to a young child as it is a birthday gift to someone turning 90. The wisdom within is timeless. This is the perfect gift for those "impossible to shop for" people on our lists.
