Charlie Mackesy’s The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse has touched millions of readers around the world and is now an animated film. This is the story of the man behind the book.

At the age of 56, he published his extraordinary tale, which in less than two years sold over eight million copies worldwide, sitting on the Sunday Times Bestseller List longer than any other book ever.
