Charlie Mackesy, whose 2019 book “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” won Waterstones Book of the Year, will be at Waterstones in Hexham on Tuesday, October 7.

He will be signing copies of his latest release, “Always Remember: The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, the Horse and the Storm.”

The event requires a ticket, which includes a copy of the book on the day.

Organisers say Mackesy will only be signing copies of his two books, and not any other artwork or prints.

When “The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” appeared in 2019, its evocation of unfolding friendships and distinctive illustrations won the hearts of millions of readers.

The signing event is scheduled to begin at 3pm.
