A Boy and His Woodland Friends: Charles Mackesy’s Heartwarming Tale of Discovery

“Sometimes just getting up and carrying on is brave and magnificent.”

– Charlie Mackesy


Charlie Mackesy’s short graphic novel ‘The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse’ is a book that started with Mackesy posting his pen and ink drawings of a young boy and his animal friends on Instagram, and which took off from there. Inside this beautiful, heartwarming tale, we follow a young boy who connects with a wise horse and a mole and a more reticent fox. Much like other classics like The Tao of Poo and Zen Master Raven, Mackesy’s book is full of one-page gems of warmth and wisdom.
