The Velveteen Rabbit: The Original 1922 Edition in Full Color

Beautiful hardbook cover protection from spills. Illustration exactly reproduced as the original book. Large print.

One younger missing sister was read this repeatedly by my now other deceased sister. Used a tribute to both sisters. Sweet story line (by the way)

A perfect babyshower gift of a classic children’s book.

With over 1,500 reviews posted, there is no need to summarize this classic story again here. What I'd like to do instead is recommend a recent (December 2017) printing that closely mirrors the beloved original 1922 edition. The Velveteen Rabbit was published simultaneously in England and America, and good copies of these first editions sell for thousands of dollars. (See the photo of one of these early editions posted below.) This new version, published by Suzeteo Enterprises, ISBN 978-1-947844-20-9, captures the look and feel of an original copy for a reasonable price. The masterful illustrations by William Nicholson have never been surpassed and add great dignity to Margery Williams's poignant story of the toy Velveteen Rabbit that is made Real through the power of love. I especially encourage adults to read The Velveteen Rabbit again, or for the first time. As with many of the best children's books, it takes on greater meaning later in life. One last point: Amazon continues to group together numerous versions of the same book under one heading. It is essential, if you want your comments to be useful to others, to include detailed publishing information about the edition you are reviewing, including the ISBN number.

Purchased this book, along with the plush rabbit and a gift box, gifted it to my 1 year old granddaughter, it was exactly what we were looking for! Loved the vintage feel to the book. Great edition for anyone who loved this beautiful story!

Thank you! The book arrived and my sister is going to love it!

I have always wanted to read The velveteen rabbit but I wanted to read the original book and when I saw it on Amazon and it was the original print before other people rewrote it I bought it. It is a very lovely story in any child would love to read or have this read to them. It is a timeless classic and I am glad I was able to read it for the very first time.

Good gift for anyone

I bought this "velvety" feeling version of the original book and it's an absolute delight and a wonderful "old fashioned" story that both children and adults will love, it took me back to my childhood when I read it and it's so lovely to hold, ...this book is a little treasure

Reproducción muy fina del cuento original de hace un siglo, en inglés, con las letras e ilustraciones de entonces. Ideal para el cuento de la noche a los niños más pequeños, o para el recuerdo de alguna abuelita de habla inglesa; una historia breve, muy tierna.

Delightful.

Best read ever. Inspired by Chandler Bing, to be quite honest, and now even recited at one of our friend's wedding, since it's all about love and letting go (but in a good way). This edition is also very beautiful. Highly recommend!

The quality of paper and print is very bad. Not worth the price. Better to buy some other publication
