The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
Read by Jilly Bond
The Velveteen Rabbit is another classic tale that has delighted audiences young and old since the day it was first published. It tells the story of a toy rabbit who, through the love of the child who owns him, is made Real. Simple and heartfelt, it is a story that anyone can relate to and the final twist at the end is all the more poignant because of this.
