‘One day you’ll look back and realise how hard it was, and just how well you did’
Charlie Mackesy’s four unlikely friends are wandering through the wilds again. They’re not sure what they are looking for. They do know that life can be difficult, but that they love each other, and cake is often the answer.
When the dark clouds come, can the boy remember what he needs to get through the storm?
The hugely anticipated new book from Charlie Mackesy, revisiting the much-loved world of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse – the internationally bestselling book, with over ten million readers around the world.
This beautiful paper-over-board hardcover includes a dark blue satin ribbon, textured blue quarter bind, illustrated endpapers, and cream sketchbook-quality paper.
Far beyond simplicity: a painterly message of hope and humanity.
"I chose this book for my book club at Christmas; an Indigo staff member highly recommended it and it was a fairly quick read. But definitely not an easily forgotten or banal story. Everyone loved it and agreed that this is not merely a book for children and young people but for adults as well: its powerful yet subtle (and visual) messages are there for people of all ages and genders. In short, a heartwarming story with brilliantly artful visuals about humans and animals of all kinds supporting each other in nature. This is a book that I will either give to grandchildren or keep in a special place, where I can revel in the sheer pleasure of words and images to regain perspective and hope."
