★作者前作《森林裡的鋼琴師》（The Bear and the Piano）榮獲2016年英國水石書店童書繪本大獎

The much-loved children’s classic by Margery Williams, now reimagined by David Litchfield as a gorgeous picture book for the youngest readers.

The Velveteen Rabbit is the perfect stuffed toy－soft, snuggly and brand new. But he longs to be played with, so he can become Real. After his Boy takes him to bed one night, the pair become inseparable. Rabbit thinks his heart will burst from happiness. This is what being Real must feel like…

But when the pair are separated, a magical fairy grants the wish of Rabbit’s heart. Finally transformed into a REAL Rabbit, he finds a new family, but never forgets his special friend－after all, he was always real to the boy.

 

Margery Williams Bianco was an English-American author, primarily of popular children’s books. A professional writer since the age of nineteen, she achieved lasting fame at forty-one with the 1922 publication of the classic that is her best-known work, The Velveteen Rabbit.
