Publisher's Summary
Discover the universal tale of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse brought to life in audio by its author and illustrator Charlie Mackesy, with a beautiful music score and the real wildlife sounds of rural England.
“A surprise bestseller about kindness and vulnerability is bringing people together.” – Washington Post
“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 audiobook, following the tale of a curious boy, a greedy mole, a wary fox and a wise horse who find themselves together in sometimes difficult terrain, sharing their greatest fears and biggest discoveries about vulnerability, kindness, hope, friendship and love. The shared adventures and important conversations between the four friends are full of life lessons that have connected with listeners of all ages.
“Charlie Mackesy’s mesmerizing debut combines the simplicity of “The Giving Tree”, magic of “The Velveteen Rabbit” and the curiosity of “Paddington” – Elisabeth Egan, New York Times
What the critics say

But the world that I long to inhabit is the one that Charlie Mackesy has created - a world of infinite kindness, wisdom, mutual care and tenderness, and true love between real friends.” (Elizabeth Gilbert, New York Times best-selling author of Eat, Pray, Love and Big Magic)

I LOVE THIS BOOK
I have a lot of anxiety, so listening to this at night really encourages me to try hard with school, and just overall, just try my hardest to control myself.
I love the storyline and choice of characters, and I love the sound effects in the background, and the slow subtle voices.
Thank you so much for making this book.

A Deceptively Simple, Beautifully Insightful Fable
I have listened repeatedly to this powerful, heartwarming tale. It always inspires me to be more gentle, more kind, more compassionate, and more open to life. I have also read and enjoyed the book, but I particularly appreciated the listening experience. Charlie Mackesy's voice is as soothing as his philosophical fable is wise, and the music and sound affects compliment the story beautifully. This is a book to awaken the child in us all, and to evoke the wisdom we aspire to have as adults. Thank you Charlie for creating this work of genius.
