The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy

Read December 2021 - Zoom Reading Circle

This is such a lovely, hopeful, beautiful book to hold in your hand and page through.  It is a book about friendship and truly being there for others.  It would make a wonderful gift.  I greatly enjoyed reading this book as a December book club selection - it truly fit the season.  It was a quick read in some ways, but is meant to be savored and read over and over.  As Anita shared in our meeting, "the script causes one to slow down and read more carefully, slowly... and to fully consider the words."  Yes, exactly.  

Quote from the book...

Is your glass half full or half empty, asked the Mole.  I think I am grateful to have a glass, said the boy.  

Isn't it odd.  We can only see our outsides, but nearly everything happens on the inside.

Everyone is a bit scared, said the horse.  But we are less scared together. 

This is now available as a short film on AppleTV.
