About This Item
The First UK printing published by the Ebury Press, London in 2019. This is the Waterstones special limited edition, which is the correct first issue with a complete number line 10-1.

The Waterstones Special limited edition features a special red burgundy cloth binding, a gold ribbon marker and an exclusive extra image. The BOOK is in Fine condition and appears unread. Original cream boards with gilt lettering to the burgundy cloth spine. The gold silk bookmark is present. Clean internally. No wrapper as issued. The book is protected in a removable Mylar archival cover. Striking illustrations throughout in colour and B/W by Charles Mackesy. A very sharp and increasingly scarce copy of the author / illustrator's best selling title, which was wonderfully animated for TV in Christmas 2022. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
Reviews
The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse is a book of words and pictures by British cartoonist and illustrator, Charlie Mackesy. The title explains the subject. It is filled with stylistic illustrations and the text is painted, in a style almost reminiscent of calligraphy. There are many wise words is this book about friendship.
"'What do you think in the biggest waste of time?'
'Comparing yourself to others,' said the mole."
"One of our greatest freedoms is how we react to things"
"Don't measure how valuable you are by the way you are treated"
This is a beautiful book that would make the perfect gift for someone who needs to feel valued.
