    A beautiful story

    Anonymous

    I love this book. I always have. The poor rabbit is a loyal friend and Real to his little boy. His grown-ups, after the boy fights a long bout of scarlet fever, decide that everything in the boy's room must be burned. Thankfully, the Nursery Magic Fairy saves him. I won't say more as it is a true joy to read even as an adult. It's just a good, loving memory of childhood for me. Definitely a must-have for any small child's library. I own the paperback and the hardcover.

    Oh.. and I mustn't forget. This is my favorite version due to the artwork by Donna Green. If you don't fall in love with the story right away, the pictures themselves will take you away to a more innocent time. A definite must-see.

About the Author

Author Margery Williams was born in London, England on July 22, 1881. She moved to the United States when she was nine-years-old and alternated between living in the United States and England for the rest of her life. She is best known for her thirty children's books, but she also wrote novels for adults and young adults. Her most popular works include The Velveteen Rabbit, Poor Cecco: The Wonderful Story of a Wonderful Wooden Dog Who Was the Jolliest Toy in the House Until He Went Out to Explore the World, and The Little Wooden Doll. Her young adult book, Winterbound, was a runner-up for the 1937 Newbery Medal and was retroactively given the Newbery Honor award when it was established in 1971. She died on September 4, 1944 at the age of 63.
