An Gillle, am Famh, an Sionnach 's an t-Each Summary

An Gillle, am Famh, an Sionnach 's an t-Each: An Sgeulachd Bheo-Dheilbhte by Charley Mackesy

This is a brilliant and creative rendition in Scots by Matthew Fitt of The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy. Matthew has previously translated titles such as Harry Potter and Philosopher's Stone and various Roald Dahl and David Walliams titles.

The BBC One film, releasing on Christmas day will adapt Charlie's soothing drawings into full colour, giving a lovely new dimension to the story. The cast is set to include Tom Hollander as The Mole, Idris Elba as The Fox, Gabriel Byrne as The Horse and newcomer Jude Nicoll as The Boy.

Here, you will find them together in this book of Charlie's most-loved drawings, adventuring into the Wild and exploring the thoughts and feelings that unite us all.

A book of hope for uncertain times.
