Charlie Mackesy’s beloved tale gets a lift — from fans, readers and a team of artists — for a new book and an animated film
During production, Mackesy eventually reached a place of creative symbiosis with his collaborators: “I could go on holiday and trust them with it. That’s an immense relief. They did a better job than I could have done.” Artistically, he says, “They really came up with the real pudding itself. I supervised on how to cook the pudding.”
The recipe began being written at least five decades ago. All the emotions and issues that Mackesy’s characters discuss in his books have “been in my head all my life,” says the author. “The feeling of lostness, the feeling of disconnection and desire for connection, the fear of vulnerability, what it affords when you actually dare to be vulnerable, the connection it brings.

Pictorially, the adapted book and film feel of a beautiful piece. Through everything, Mackesy is pleased the mass collaboration stayed true to its core messages. “I hope the film gives people what the first book did: kindness, friendship, love, hope — and encouragement to tell the truth of who we are.”More from Book WorldDelivered to your inbox on Fridays, a selection of book reviews and recommendations from Book World editor Ron Charles.
