For 75 years, The Velveteen Rabbit, written by Margery Williams with original illustrations by William Nicholson, has been offering the ultimate answer to the question: what is real? As the Skin Horse says, "Real isn't how you are made. It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time . . . then you become real."
In honor of this timeless favorite and especially for Easter giving, Doubleday has issued the original story and illustrations as they first appeared in 1922. On ivory paper, the illustrations of British artist Sir William Nicholson have a classic look, yet are loose and childlike. We'd know that rabbit anywhere.
All children want to feel the kind of love that Rabbit yearned for. Come to think of it, so does every adult. Bring on the nursery magic. Here's to 75 more!
