**Charlie Mackesy's "The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse" – A Journey of Friendship and Hope**
Charlie Mackesy's beloved book *The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse* has captured the hearts of millions since its release in 2019. With its gentle wisdom, heartfelt illustrations, and timeless messages, the book explores universal themes of kindness, vulnerability, and the power of friendship. Through a series of tender conversations and encounters, the four characters—a curious boy, a cake-loving mole, a cautious fox, and a wise horse—navigate life’s challenges together, reminding readers of all ages about the importance of compassion and resilience. Each page is a poignant reflection on love, courage, and acceptance, told through simple yet profound words accompanied by Mackesy's evocative, hand-drawn illustrations.
In 2022, *The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse* was adapted into a beautifully animated short film, bringing the characters and their journey to life in a whole new way. The film, much like the book, emphasizes the beauty of human connection and the importance of embracing one's true self. With its sweeping visuals and a score that perfectly complements the emotional depth of the story, the film adaptation elevates Mackesy’s message of hope and understanding.
Both the book and the film have become cultural touchstones, offering comfort and inspiration to anyone seeking solace in uncertain times. Their enduring appeal lies in the simplicity of the messages and the warmth of Mackesy's vision—a celebration of the human spirit in all its vulnerability and strength.

View AllBarcelona Olympic Football Mascot Cobi (1992) by Javier Mariscal
By Javier Mariscal
Located in London, GB
The 1992 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXV Olympiad, were held in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, from 25 July to 9 August 1992. Commonly referred to as Barcelona '92, these games were notable for being the last Summer and Winter Olympics to be held in the same year, as the International Olympic Committee (IOC) decided thereafter to alternate the events in separate even-numbered years, starting in 1994. This was a pivotal moment in Olympic history, as the Barcelona Games marked the first Summer Olympics held in the post-Cold War era and were free from the boycotts that had plagued previous events, a situation not seen since the 1972 Munich Olympics.
Barcelona '92 is widely regarded as one of the most successful Olympic Games, contributing significantly to the modernization and global image of the city. It was also a Games of many firsts: the debut of the "Dream Team" in basketball, which featured NBA players like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird, and the reintegration of South Africa into the international sports community after a 32-year ban due to apartheid. The participation of a unified German team following the reunification of East and West Germany, and the absence of the Soviet Union (though its former republics competed as the Unified Team), further emphasized the geopolitical shifts of the time.
The official mascot for the 1992 Barcelona Games was *Cobi*, a stylized sheepdog designed by Catalan artist and designer Javier Mariscal. Mariscal, already a significant figure in contemporary design, was known for his eclectic and playful style, often blending comic art with a modernist sensibility. His creation of Cobi was a departure from previous Olympic mascots...
