Charlie Mackesy says that people’s reactions to his book The Boy, The Mole, The Fox And The Horse and its film adaptation were “a greater award” than his newly-won Oscar.

Mackesy, 60, said he was “speechless” following the win, but that stories he had been told about the effects of his work were “gold”.
