- TESS LAMACRAFT, REBECCA MAHONEY, JUDY EWENS

Illustrator Charlie Mackesy became a publishing sensation when The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse sold more copies in the UK than any other book in 2020.

The picture book has gone on to be a global phenomenon, translated into 17 languages, and the tender tale is now being brought to life in a magical animation for Christmas.
