About this book
"What is REAL?" asks the Velveteen Rabbit in Margery Williams' timeless children's classic, a profound meditation on love, belonging, and transformation. First published in 1922, this beloved tale follows an unassuming toy rabbit who embarks on a poignant journey to discover what it truly means to become real—not through magic or wishes, but through the power of genuine love and devotion.
When a lonely boy receives the velveteen rabbit as a Christmas gift, an unexpected bond forms between them. Through seasons of play and companionship, the rabbit learns a beautiful truth from the wise Skin Horse: becoming real isn't about physical form, but about being loved so deeply that you transcend your original purpose. Williams crafts a narrative that works beautifully on multiple levels, offering comfort to children while touching the hearts of adults.
Originally written by Williams as her first children's book after a distinguished career writing for adults, The Velveteen Rabbit became her most enduring legacy. This emotionally resonant story explores themes of sacrifice, acceptance, and the transformative nature of love with remarkable tenderness and grace.
Perfect for listeners of all ages, this audiobook is ideal for anyone seeking a moving tale that reminds us of life's most important truths. A cherished classic that continues to inspire new generations.
