The Velveteen Rabbit

Synopsis

First published in 1922, The Velveteen Rabbit is one of the most beloved children's classics ever written. It tells the story of a toy rabbit who longs to become real through the love of the child who treasures him. As the seasons pass and the rabbit learns about friendship, loss, and devotion, he discovers that becoming real has little to do with how one is made and everything to do with being deeply loved.

Tender, timeless, and beautifully illustrated by William Nicholson, The Velveteen Rabbit continues to enchant readers of every generation with its gentle reflections on love, imagination, and what it truly means to be real. This facsimile edition faithfully reproduces the original 1922 publication, including all of Nicholson's full-colour illustrations.
