Charlie Mackesy’s beloved The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse has been adapted into an animated short film, now available to stream on Apple TV+


“A surprise bestseller about kindness and vulnerability is bringing people together.” – Washington Post


“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 audiobook, 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.


“Charlie Mackesy’s mesmerizing debut combines the simplicity of “The Giving Tree”, magic of “The Velveteen Rabbit” and the curiosity of “Paddington” – Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

I was sorry not to be able to get the ‘real’ book, but it was delightful to hear it read by Mr. Mackesy. He has a lovely voice. I couldn’t get a copy of the book for my eleven year old granddaughter so I am sharing the Audible book with her. Thank you for this special book about love and friendship.

Perfect!
