Charlie Mackesy – The Mole

Since its publication in 2019, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse has warmed the hearts of millions of readers across the globe. The mole, in particular, has brought joy and delight to readers – for his bravery, friendship and love of cake! After receiving countless messages asking for a mole friend to have at home, Charlie has worked with a UK based family-run production partner to create a plush toy mole which is suitable for all ages from birth.

Charlie’s mole has been thoughtfully crafted for children and adults, to act as a tangible reminder to take care of themselves, and they will make it through the storm. Charlie hopes this plush toy mole will be a friend to all, to carry with them and remind them they are loved and enough.
