This classic tale follows a toy rabbit's quest to become Real through a child's love. The Velveteen Rabbit continues to enchant readers of all ages.

Originally published a century ago, The Velveteen Rabbit remains a cherished classic in children's literature. This heartwarming tale explores the profound journey of a toy rabbit who longs to become 'Real' through the love of a child. In the nursery, the older toys understand the true essence of being Real, and the Velveteen Rabbit seeks guidance from the wise Skin Horse. Through their conversations, readers are invited into a world where love and authenticity hold the power to transform.

The story beautifully illustrates the idea that being Real is not about physical appearance, but rather about the depth of love and connection one experiences. As the Velveteen Rabbit navigates his journey, he learns that true beauty comes from being loved and cherished, regardless of how one looks. This timeless message resonates with both children and adults, making it a perfect read for family gatherings or quiet moments together.

With stunning illustrations by William Nicholson, this special hardback edition of The Velveteen Rabbit is not only a delightful reading experience but also a treasured keepsake. Its new foiled cover design adds a touch of elegance, making it a wonderful gift for any occasion. Celebrating 100 years of this beloved story, it invites readers to reflect on the importance of love, friendship, and the magic of childhood.
