Summer Reading

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

You probably already know this book. I heard about it last year, saw the author interviewed on CBS Sunday Morning, have seen enchanting illustrations from the book, and have read numerous priceless quotes. I have been promising to get it for myself and others since I first became aware of it. Time passes and so many good books go unread.

Fortuitously, I recently received a copy from a friend for my birthday. I was so happy to finally hold this truly, beautiful book in my hands, to have the opportunity to turn its pristine pages, and to drink in the wisdom and the love so generously offered within the story.

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, by author and illustrator--Charlie Mackesy, will be a permanent treasure in those homes that still collect books. Am I recommending this book for anyone and everyone? Indeed and absolutely. If you haven't yet treated yourself to this jewel, it's time to invest in a gem.
