Congratulations and Happy Publication Day to @char Congratulations and Happy Publication Day to @charliemackesy @penguinukbooks the audiobook of The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse is out today! It’s almost impossible to quantify the impact that Charlie’s original book and his Instagram posts have had during 2020. We loved the book and it has been our Book of the Month, Book of the Year and we recently described it as our Book of the Decade. When we heard about the audio book we wondered how it would translate from an illustrated book to audio. However Charlie has triumphed again, the audio version is exquisite, in his introduction Charlie explains how he hopes that it will be relevant to everyone from eighty to eight and it really is. The production is magical, starting and closing with the most beautiful wildlife sounds, and including uplifting passages of music. Charlie’s voice is soothing and he has achieved the most natural way of translating his evocative drawings into a wonderful narrative. Uplifting, inspiring and absolutely beautiful, a perfect gift for anyone. Very Highly Recommended!
