Read by <a href="http://forbiddendragon.blogspot.com/">Marlo Dianne</a>. Written in 1922, <i>The Velveteen Rabbit</i>, or, <i>How Toys Become Real</i> is the tale of a sweet unassuming toy rabbit who questions what it is to live and to love. It was the first children's title written by Margery Williams (1881 - 1944), who had previously created only for adults. This story eclipsed all others, to become her most famous work, and an ever adored classic for all ages. "It was by a sort of accident that The Velveteen Rabbit became the beginning of all the stories I have written since...By thinking about toys and remembering toys, they suddenly become very much alive. Toys I had loved as a little girl...my almost forgotten Tubby, who was the rabbit, and Old Dobbin, the Skin Horse, and the toys my children had loved." --Margery Williams http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.5/ 2006-05-04 16:45:08 2006-05-04 23:45:02 forbidden_dragon_throws_a_hissy@yahoo.com 0:28:42 2006-05-04 19:31:28 marlodianne
