The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

Categories: Children's Books, Literature & Fiction

An illustrated book by the artist Charlie Mackesy that follows a curious boy and three animal friends as they wander through the wild and talk about life. Told in hand-lettered conversations and ink-and-watercolor drawings, it touches on kindness, courage, friendship and asking for help. It looks like a children's book, but it is written for readers of all ages and became an international bestseller.

• Tim Ferriss: “This short and beautiful book was gifted to me by my mom. It looks like a children's book, and you can read it in 30 minutes, but it's replete with wisdom for adults.”
