to life in full colour with hand-drawn traditional animation and accompanying hand-written script. With lay-flat binding, 16:9 ratio artwork frames across double spreads, and intricately designed new cover and endpapers. The hugely anticipated film will be shown on Christmas Day on BBC One and around the world. Directed by Charlie Mackesy and Peter Baynton ('Paddington 2', 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea'), the characters are voiced by Tom Hollander, Idris Elba and Gabriel Byrne. "I made a film with some friends about a boy, a mole, a fox and a horse - their journey together and the boy's search for home. I hope this book gives you courage and makes you feel loved."
