Always Remember by Charlie Mackesy Hardback Book

Step back into the tender, hope-filled world of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse with Always Remember by Charlie Mackesy.

This beautifully illustrated hardback follows the boy and his three unlikely friends as they wander through wide open landscapes and weather new storms together. They are not exactly sure what they’re searching for, but they do know a few simple truths: life can be hard, friendship matters, and there is usually time to pause for cake.

Through Charlie’s handwritten words and expressive drawings, Always Remember gently explores courage, self-kindness and staying soft in a world that can feel overwhelming. It’s a book to keep nearby for the days when you’re tired, anxious or unsure, and a reminder that you are doing better than you think.

Display it on your coffee table, bedside, desk or reading nook as a daily touchstone, or gift it to someone who needs a comforting little nudge of encouragement. Pair it with other favourites from our Books and Gift Ideas for the Bookworm collections for a thoughtful, ready-to-give bundle.
