The Velveteen Rabbit & Other Classic Children's Stories

<p><b>The touching story of <i>The Velveteen Rabbit</i> is a magical tale about the bond between a little boy and his favourite toy animal. It’s a story about the transforming power of love that has been enjoyed by generations since it was first published in 1922.</b><br><br>The theme of kindness runs through this lovely collection of stories. There’s Kenneth Grahame’s Reluctant Dragon, more interested in writing poetry than being fierce; in ‘The Land of the Blue Flower’ by Frances Hodgson Burnett, a young king encourages his citizens to plant flowers; and frosty Aunt Kapp succumbs to the warmth and charm of her family. Many stories in the book are accompanied by delightful illustrations.<br><br>This Macmillan Collector’s Library edition is a beautiful, cloth-bound hardback with gorgeous, classic illustrations throughout. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This anthology is edited by author and critic Nicolette Jones.</p>
