L'enfant, la taupe, le renard et le cheval de Charlie Mackesy est un livre extraordinaire qui brille à bien des égards. Sa poésie, sa profondeur psychologique, ses traits fins et délicats, ainsi que l'écriture manuscrite de l'auteur font de lui un petit chef-d'œuvre à placer entre toutes les mains.


Chaque page est imprégnée de sagesse et d'émotion, créant une expérience de lecture qui touche l'âme et émeut le cœur.


À travers des dialogues simples, mais profonds entre l'enfant, la taupe, le renard et le cheval, l'auteur explore des thèmes profonds et universels, tels que l'acceptation de soi, la solitude, la vulnérabilité, la résilience et l'amour. Les interactions entre les personnages révèlent des leçons importantes sur la nature humaine, offrant des réflexions profondes et parfois enveloppées d'humour avec justesse.


Aussi, j'ai adoré l'écriture à la main et le style encré (et l'aquarelle) qui donnent une touche personnelle et authentique à chaque phrase et illustration.


Je recommande fooooort ce bijou à lire et à offrir sans hésitation !

This is the most random conversation between these quartet. There's no particular plot. But between those dialogues, there are so many wisdom we can learn.

“I wonder if there's school of unlearning.”


And these particular dialogue really hits home

“What is the bravest thing you ever said?”
“Help. Asking for help isn't giving up. It's refusing to give up.”


Heartwarming at its finest, but personally I'm not fond of the font. I found myself was squinting so hard trying to read what's written there.

Such a lovely feeling good story. The audio version is amazing by the author also. Listen to the audiobook to get the description of the pictures while reading along to get the best experience in my opinion.

A must-read! I felt like I wanted to give this book to every person I love. the emotions behind every word no matter how small are indescribable. there is no age to who is supposed to read this book. which makes it more universal to us all.
through the pages, we get to relearn basic life lessons and how to deal with pressure stress loneliness, etc.


highly recommended!!

This book is so beautiful, the illustrations and the words together make for a heartwarming feeling. This is not my usual read and it was one I read a little every morning to give myself a positive thoughtful start to the day. Charlie Mackesys drawings are so simple but very effective along with the quotes and characters.

Chlapec, krtek, liška a kůň je překrásná kniha.

Ukrývá se v ní mnohem víc, než se na první pohled zdá.

Je plná nádherných myšlenek, fascinujících ilustrací, otázek a odpovědí, za kterými se (kdykoli to bude potřeba) ráda vrátím.

Knihu může číst malý i velký čtenář - každý si z ní odnese něco jiného.
