![]() He was naturally shy, and being only made of velveteen, some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him. For at least two hours the Boy loved him, and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner, and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten.įor a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor, and no one thought very much about him. There were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen. HERE was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. ![]() ***START OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE VELVETEEN RABBIT*** This eBook is courtesy of the Celebration of Women Writers, online With this eBook or online at Title: The Velveteen Rabbit Re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included ![]() ![]() This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and withĪlmost no restrictions whatsoever.

It will make you laugh so hard you’ll have to push pause to breathe and later you’ll be devastated, and/or sob crying. ![]() It is a story of love and loyalty, brotherhood and friendship, honour and selflessness contrasted against the worst kind of betrayal and evil imaginable.
