Written and illustrated by Charlie Mackesy

Four unlikely friends. A long walk. A little wisdom for the road.

A curious boy, a cake-loving mole, a cautious fox, and a gentle horse travel together through Charlie Mackesy’s beloved illustrated world, sharing quiet conversations about courage, kindness, friendship, vulnerability, and what it means to be there for one another.

Told through Mackesy’s expressive ink-and-watercolor artwork and spare, thoughtful words, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse is less a story to hurry through than a book to wander into—opening to a page, finding something you needed that day, and returning again later.

This anniversary hardcover edition celebrates five years of the book with gilded page edges, a ribbon marker, new artwork, and a new foreword, giving an already beautiful object an especially lovely finish.

Gentle without asking the world to be easy, it’s a book about continuing onward—and the companions who make the journey a little less lonely.

Why We Love It

This is the sort of book you don’t necessarily finish and put away.

You leave it somewhere within reach. You open it again. A drawing catches you differently. A few words mean something they didn’t the last time.

We love its belief that gentleness and courage can occupy the same space—and that sometimes the most important thing we can offer another creature is simply to keep walking beside them.
