Charlie Mackesy’s The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse is a Sunday Times Bestseller and a New York Times Bestseller too.
Two years ago, Charlie Mackesy uploaded a drawing of a boy and a mole to his Instagram account. The boy looks young, barely a toddler, barely the size of the mole, and the mole looks slightly concerned; it adds to the cuteness. ‘Tales from the underground. Another mole day I think,’ the artist captioned it.
