The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
MACKESY, Charlie.
The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.
London: Ebury Press, 2020.
4to., green cloth-backed decorative boards, lettered in gilt to spine with penguin logo, decorative endpapers with musical notation, gold ribbon marker; [unpaginated], illustrated throughout with black and white and full colour images by the author; a fine copy, just a few bumps to edges and spine tips.
First, first printing of the Penguin Limited Edition, with ‘Limited Edition’ gold sticker to the upper board, in the green cloth binding.
When Mackesy first released The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, it was in 2019, just before the outbreak of Covid19. This limited edition was published a year later, and includes a new illustration, featuring a rainbow, which was brought out to celebrate the critical care and NHS workers who worked tirelessly during the pandemic. This can be found on the rear free endpaper, and is unique to this edition.
The work quickly became a modern classic, beloved of both children and adults. A BBC short animated adaptation was produced in 2022, which went on to win the Best Animated Short Film Academy Award on 12 March 2023.
