Summary
Narrated by Charlie Mackesy.

Brought to you by Penguin.

With music by Max Richter and Isobel Waller-Bridge.

Discover the universal tale of four unlikely friends that has captured the hearts of readers of all ages, now available in audio.

Adapted into a BAFTA and Academy Award-winning animated short film.

Experience the world 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.

Charlie's words and illustrations have brought comfort to many and have been shared online by readers around the world, as well as on t-shirts for Comic Relief, on magazine covers, on street lampposts in lockdown, in school classrooms, local cafés, and hospital ward walls. They've even been used as screensavers for NHS hospital computers in difficult times.

The shared adventures and important conversations between the four friends are full of life lessons that have connected with readers of all ages.

Enjoy the journey 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.

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

A simplistic book with a good message. For clarity this is a children’s book.

What a simple book, yet the lessons are so fundamental in our every day lives... and beautifully told by the author. If you've got an hour, it will be well spend listening to this audio book.

This is the cutest book, but probably a bit of a waste on audiobook, as the sketches make the book. Difficult to read the sketches in a truly imaginative way. There are some valuable life lessons here.

Such an inspirational book, but I was sobbing my heart out a lot through it, thinking of some of my friends who have lost loved ones and who's hearts are sad.
