This is the story that wowed our booksellers. Presenting our Book of the Year 2019.
Few of us could resist the sublime illustrations in Charlie Mackesy’s luminous fable, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. This gorgeous book is an inspirational (but not saccharine) story about loneliness and courage for readers of all ages. Read more in our blog.
"In the world we live in today, this book touches the heart and reminds us of who we want to be and the world we want to create for ourselves and others. The simple messages from a mole or compassionate words from a horse tells us that we don't need a complex answer when we are confused. Life is simple. We are the ones who make it so complicated. A beautiful book for the soul as well as the eyes." -- Glenda Moret, Bookseller, Brentwood, TN

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.

A friend just told me about this book. I was so enamored, I searched for this man, Charlie, with his beautiful painting style and heart-touching message. Thank you for posting. Kindness… give it and receive it. It’s free. Don’t hold back. Thank you for posting! 🌹

I really enjoyed your book and the drawings really carried the message.
Love your Puppy's face...
I NEEDED to see that today, although this message may never read by you, Charlie.
Change is inevitable. Change is a constant. Changing yourself is dependent on making a decision for change or not. The lack of decision is in itself a decision. Fear not change but embrace change and plan for your next decade. It will come either way. Live bold, Love lots, Give your best.
I am also an artist and this is the most fabulous, extra ordinary book/ I bought at least 4 + copies for all of my family......
A truly lovely read! I discovered it recently and proceeded to buy numerous copies to share with loved ones...young and old. ❤️
Baby I'm gonna get you a new car but I have to fully trust you because I got an SUV 2019 for my ex and I discovered she was only playing games with me
Simplemente hermoso!
It's nearly midnight. I wanted to listen to a human story on the radio. Something pure and real. I didn't realize at first why this (seemingly) children "tale" came across among the noisy and shallow audios. But there was that call to stop by the story. I haven't listened to it yet. Let's say I didn't dare. I saw pages. I saw drawings. Letters and words that were drawn with simplicity, care and understanding. The most inner part of a human recognizes the echoes of the soul. This piece of art, let's say, book is an echo. It was meant to be.
I just listened to you reading the book on BBC sounds and loved it. I've recommended it to friends who all are finding it so thought provoking especially during lock down. Thank you for this beautiful book "Even storms get tired" let's hope we are soon through this one and begin to value the simple things.
Brilliant, Charlie.....thankful!

Oops. Mackesycharles, l'm sure you're an imposter. Naughty. 😡
@@margaretwilson3745 well you can text me via my email. So it can be noted
Exquisite.
Does anyone know what kind of nib and ink he is using in that Tachikawa nib holder/ It looks like Zebra G or Tachickawa G but is far to flexible. Anyone????
I’m sorry I don’t have an answer, but I would love to know as well. If you hear from someone, could you tap me back a reply? Thanks..If I see anything, I’ll respond to you. Although, I often don’t get back to my youtube sites as there are so many faves saved. It’s beautiful though, isn’t it?! 🌹
What kind of pen is he using? Just a traditional fountain pen and ink?
Seems so, but I don't recommend buying cheap fountain pens cause they all seem too stiff to do thicker lines like he did,
might be that?
He's using a drawing pen, which has multiple nibs, some fine some broad, some round...He's also using an India ink to draw with, and varying the pressure on the point to achieve broader or thinner strokes. Google Hunt Speedball pens for supplies and books. Also look up Drawing with Pen & Ink. The virtual instructor is good.
They are known as "dip pens" among artists. A fountain pen will get it's ink from a cartridge inside but this one needs to be dipped in ink and the nibs changed every now and then.
