The Laddie, the Mowdie, the Tod and the Cuddie: The Animatit Story

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. The UK edition is the best-selling hardback book since records began. It has spent 150 consecutive weeks in the Sunday Times Bestseller Chart. It is also the first-ever book to be awarded both the Waterstones Book of the Year (2019) and Barnes and Noble Book of the year (2019). We will also be publishing a Gaelic translation by Johan Nic a’ Ghobhainn at the same time. These will be a part of an extensive co-publishing event with Penguin Random House which has seen 33 international editions of the book and counting.
