Description
Discover the very special book that has captured the hearts of millions of readers all over the world.
‘A wonderful work of art and a wonderful window into the human heart’ Richard Curtis
A book of hope for uncertain times.
Enter the world of Charlie’s four unlikely friends, discover their story and their most important life lessons.
The boy, the mole, the fox and the horse have been shared millions of times online – perhaps you’ve seen them? They’ve also been recreated by children in schools and hung on hospital walls. They sometimes even appear on lamp posts and on cafe and bookshop windows. Perhaps you saw the boy and mole on the Comic Relief T-shirt, Love Wins?
Here, you will find them together in this book of Charlie’s most-loved drawings, adventuring into the Wild and exploring the thoughts and feelings that unite us all.

Simply beautiful
Brought for myself after a very difficult year and a half. I was in need of something that let me know I don’t struggle alone.This book was just stunning. Somehow, through the pictures and words, I’ve felt more at peace today having read it, than I have for such a very long time.I’m a rational, straight thinking type of person, but I’ve had knock back after knock back and major life changes for too long.But, this book somehow reaches into you, draws you in and, somehow, makes you see that it will be ok after all. Somehow. And I don’t know how, but I’m truly grateful I’ve found it.I’ll keep this book for the rest of my days and read it often. A truly beautiful read.

The World Will Be A Better Place With This Book
A companion for life. Every home, school and institution should have a copy available. Recommended for ages 8-80, the old and the young, the rich and the poor, the strong and the weak. Thank you Charlie x

Favourite book! Love it!
I found this amazing artist on Instagram and as soon as I heard he’s going to sell his book, I had to pre-order it! It is just lovely. The illustrations are perfect together with these wise and cute sayings. It made my day when it arrived and I could read it over and over again. I ordered 4 more for some of my friends, because I want them to get to know the artist and to love this book as much as I do 🙂 highly recommend it, it makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside

A brilliant collection of genius
Arrived today from pre order . Charlie Mackesey is a genius disguised as humble and authentic in every way. I was lucky enough to meet him at a gallery exhibition of his work and he was truly humbled by his popularity. The book reflects his total authenticity and insight into human struggles.

Truly Beautiful
This is truly beautiful. We forget to see what really matters. We forget to love. The simplicity and complexity of the message in these pages is awesome in the true sense of the word. I will be giving all of my adult children a copy of this at Christmas. I will also be reading it to/with my grandson

Just Brilliant
More than a book, a message, a companion to help me through all it is to be a living being in this life.Thank you Charlie for this gift you have given us all…Just to add that the corner of the book arrived damaged (photo) which was an initial disappointment until I realised the book needed cherishing more because of that!(But dont like to think of this having happened on a wider scale…

made me cry
This is a beautiful book. It was bought for me as an anniversary gift and I have read it today.. It is such a gentle book but with words that moved me so much. It is not a ‘clever’ book filled with trendy babble but filled with as a reviewer said kindness, love and friendship. I have felt quite fragile lately and this book filled me with hope.

Caution: If you buy one, you will then buy 5 more. Lovely, lovely book. 💕
Honestly the most inspirational book I have ever owned, makes me want to paint (hence the photo 😆) makes me want to bake cake 🍰 Makes me grateful to have a glass 💕 It is a book I am buying for my 73yr old mum, 9 yr old nieces and a few friends for Christmas too.. it’s really for all age groups. I read it in 30 minutes but I will forever dip into it. Charlies art and words are a light we all need in our lives. Thank you Charlie!
