written by Charlie Mackesy, published by Ebury Press
genre fiction, 128 pages

I love illustrations and an illustrated book that sold over 1,4 million copies and that could be found in the top 10 of the Sunday Times Bestsellers List for 55 weeks, should be checked out. Despite my high expectations, ‘The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse’ doesn’t disappoint, at all.

‘The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse’ is a beautiful, heartwarming and very sweet story. It’s the story of an unlikely friendship between a boy, a mole, a fox and a horse. With few words and quite minimal but very beautiful and poetic illustrations, Charlie Mackesy teaches us life’s most important lessons. The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse is a unique, beautiful, wise and hopeful book. A book that will warm people’s hearts, especially during hard times like these.
