Susanne Pugh - Recovery Practitioner
Susanne, one of our dedicated therapists, has shared a book suggestion: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse. In the past, she has gifted this book to many of her friends and family. They are now all big fans of the author Charlie Mackesy!
A boy, a mole, a fox, and a horse share a series of heartfelt and profound conversations about the meaning of life, universal truths and friendship. Accompanied by exquisite artwork, the book explores our innermost feelings with delicate sensitivity and candour.
“All four characters represent different parts of the same person,” explained Mackesy “the inquisitive boy, the mole who’s enthusiastic but a bit greedy, the fox who’s been hurt so is withdrawn from life, slow to trust but wants to be part of things, and the horse who’s the wisest bit, the deepest part of you, the soul.”
You can find a copy of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse at our premises.
