Who says stuffed toys don’t have feelings? This stuffed rabbit does when he’s laughed at for not being ‘real’ like the other rabbits. So he sets off to prove that you can be real just by being loved by a child, in a wonderful story with positive messages about the value of friendship. This is a new edition in paperback of the ORIGINAL story and artwork by Margery Williams and William Nicholson that was first published in 1922.
When a young boy gets a beautiful velveteen rabbit for a gift, he plays with his new toy for a while, but in all the excitement of opening presents, he forgets about it. But only temporarily. How the rabbit comes to be loved by the boy and finally comes to life is a classic story that has been read and cherished by many generations of children and their parents.
Margery Williams was born in London in 1881 and was a professional writer from the age of 19. She wrote over 25 novels and children's books and achieved lasting fame with the 1922 publication of the classic that is her best-known work, The Velveteen Rabbit.
