The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

*Klik hier voor de Nederlandstalige tekst

In 2019 Charlie Mackesy’s book The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse became one of the biggest literary successes of the century so far and was later made into an Oscar-winning short film. The loving characters and their wise and funny lessons clearly struck a chord, giving a much-needed reminder of what is important in the world. Now the sequel of the book is here: Always Remember: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse and the Storm.

During this special evening in Amsterdam, Charlie Mackesy will bring his beloved characters to life and share the experiences and insights that have shaped his view of the world. As he speaks, he will draw live on stage and will eventually guide the audience to do the same. Expect a celebration of joy and melancholy, and an ode to the courage found in the smallest kindnesses. You may find yourself laughing, you may find yourself moved, and you may even leave with the inspiration to begin something creative of your own.

For whom is this event?

This event is for everyone who loved The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse and wants to immerse themselves further into that world. It is for people who want to be reminded of the love and kindness that is present and want to spark their creativity. The event is tailored to adults.

This evening is presented by The School of Life Amsterdam en KokBoekencentrum.
