The Velveteen Rabbit: Anniversary Edition

The Velveteen Rabbit is a touching story about a stuffed rabbit and his quest to become real through the love of his owner. The rabbit learns about love and the joy and pain it can bring. Overlooked in favour of more exciting playthings, the Velveteen Rabbit seeks counsel from a threadbare horse, who tells him, 'When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you become Real.' Now presented in a centenary edition, this heartfelt tale of a stuffed toy's quest to find meaning in life is a true children's classic. The classic nursery story celebrates 100 years since its first publication! He didn't mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn't matter. In the nursery, only the toys that are old and wise truly understand what it means to be Real. The Velveteen Rabbit, a newcomer to the nursery, asks one of the most knowledgeable toys, the Skin Horse, what being Real means. And so begins the Velveteen Rabbit’s journey towards becoming real – through the love of a child … Margery Williams’ timeless picture book classic has been read and cherished by many generations of children and their parents and is now available in this beautiful hardback edition. Brought to life by gorgeous and much-loved classic illustrations by William Nicholson, with a new foiled cover design, this is a wonderful keepsake gift to treasure and share.
