Boy, the Mole, the Fox – and the Horse

The greatest illusion,” said the mole, “is that life should be perfect.”

I had read the ebook version of the book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox – and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy on early 2020 — from start, all the way to the end in just about an hour or so. But then I wanted to buy this book on hardcover, and have it beside my collections of bedside books.

Finally Solution gifted me the book this week as we were talking about it on one of shopping trip to ‘Target’ in Richmond.


I bet, you will not regret spending your money on this world class but equally unflatteringly-simple, and digestible piece of work very much handy for our day to day contemplation of life in general. You can also find the video adaptation of this book on apple tv. Check on youtube for trailer by clicking here.

Skinning more on Charlie’s work — whenever I personally feel or tend to feel overwhelmed; I know i can always go through any random pages in the book and ultimately find peace with be it my on-hand or out-of-hand circumstances the way they unfolded. For, I for sure know this book is no less than a magical paracetamol for the feverish ones.

So, go my friend.

Enjoy the unwavering, fruitilicious, true-as-gravity wisdom with a cup of whatever you like –tea, coffee, soda, water.

Namaste.
