This is the most heartwarming book. The verses are thought provoking and the illustrations just beautiful. A permanent coffee table book in my house.

What a beautiful book! Thank you Charlie Mackesy for your wonderful illustrations and the meaningful words you so beautifully expressed. They touched my heart and blessed me as I related to them. I read this book in one sitting and look forward to reading it again.

This beautiful book is for everyone, because we were made for companionship.
Whoever hears or reads Charlie Macksey's simple, wise, "mindful", down-to-earth inspirational words, won't be left empty, but filled with hope and joy.

A book that appeals to young & old with some wonderful simple philosophies of life which are simple
A great encouragement to be kind to those we meet in life
I keep it by me to dip into when life is dark especially in this covid pandemic

Such inspiration in these hard times!

The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse is a book of words and pictures by British cartoonist and illustrator, Charlie Mackesy. The title explains the subject. It is filled with stylistic illustrations and the text is painted, in a style almost reminiscent of calligraphy. There are many wise words is this book about friendship.
“’What do you think in the biggest waste of time?’
‘Comparing yourself to others,’ said the mole.”

“One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things”

“Don’t measure how valuable you are by the way you are treated”

This is a beautiful book that would make the perfect gift for someone who needs to feel valued.

I purchased two of this book for my grandchildren (5) two families, aging from 7 years to 12, they really enjoyed it and loved the sayings in the book, my granddaughter took her book to school, and her teacher read it to the class, everyone enjoyed it. It’s a book to just pick up and read different pages, the all have something to give, and learn by to any age person, children to adults, I should have purchased one for myself!

This is just about the most delightful book I have read. It has moved to first place In my adored collection of books
The drawings are fabulous you can feel the emotions in the characters. Well done Charlie

Just the sweetest book I've ever had the pleasure to read. Can pick it up and read a page or two and put a smile on your face. Positive messages for everyone in every situation they find themselves. Could not recommend it highly enough. Just Buy It!

Such lovely sentiments to reflect on in difficult times. Love him!

The most beautiful book, the drawings and the words are just perfect! Everyone should own a copy, I bought 10 so I can give them to people who need this book. It's very special

I’ve given this book as a gift to people of different ages, backgrounds and genders. It’s words and pictures as so lovely and simple, yet powerful and can provide comfort to those who need a bit of a “lift”.

The most beautiful illustrations matched only by the thought behind the written word. Highly recommend it

Beautiful book, full of kindness and love. Gave a copy to all my grandsons!

So happy I brought this book as a gift. It is really beautiful

Beautifully illustrated. Thoughtful quotes. My teens, my friends and i love this book.

I have been following Charlie Mackesy for a long time now and I excited when he put his words into a book. It was everything I thought it would be and more. Hopefully it is the first of many. ❤️

In the 90s it was Life's Little Instruction Book that parents bought for their children (young and old) as a guide on how to approach life - remember that little one with the tartan cover? This is the family tome now for mental health, for heartfelt drawings with movement and classical simplicity, for a touch of A. A. Milne and for the perfect phrasing of Charlie Mackesy - highly recommend following his instagram page and listening to his TEDx talk online.

Thought provoking and introspective

This book is perfection and a stunning gift for anyone who wants to be reminded of the tenderness of the heart and the power of humanity. A glorious gift for the young and old who appreciates beauty, poetry, philosophy and compassion. Share the love and present this to someone you care about. This book inspires kindness towards oneself and each other.
