About this listen

"Real isn't how you are made, it's a thing that happens to you."

A shy toy rabbit has dreams of becoming real, even as he learns that being real comes with wear, love, and sometimes pain, but as the wise Skin Horse says, "When you are real, you don't mind being hurt." Margery Williams' The Velveteen Rabbit (or How Toys Become Real) is a story of love, imagination and a little bit of nursery magic. First appearing in Harper's Bazaar in 1921 and published in book form the following year, this timeless classic continues to inspire people with its touching reflections on childhood.
