THE VELVETEEN RABBIT A Special Full-Color, Fully-Illustrated Edition Illustrated by Maria Berg "'What is REAL?' asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side in the nursery. 'When a child loves you for a long, long time, ' replied the Skin Horse, 'not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.' The Rabbit sighed. He longed to become Real . . ." After almost being forgotten on Christmas Day, the stuffed Velveteen Rabbit becomes a boy's most cherished toy, sharing in the adventures of childhood, from glorious summer days playing in the forest to cozy nights snuggled beneath warm covers. As the days pass, the Rabbit's colors fade and his whiskers fall away, but the Boy's love for him only deepens. Until one day the Boy falls ill . . . What happens next - as the transformative power of love works its magic - changes the Velveteen Rabbit forever.

About the Authors

Margery Williams Bianco (1881-1944) was born in London, and for much of her life she alternated living in England and in America. She raised two children with her husband, Francesco Bianco. Although today she is best known for The Velveteen Rabbit or How Toys Become Real, she was an accomplished author with more than two dozen books to her name.

Maria Berg is a portrait and figurative artist living in Bruchk�bel, Germany, near the original home of the Brothers Grimm. For as long as she can remember, Maria has lived on stories and fairy tales, which have formed her understanding of herself and her life's journey. Her goal as an artist is to reflect and to reveal life's beauty through images that touch the heart and inspire the viewer to seek beyond that which is seen. For this purpose she dedicates herself not only to the act of painting itself, but also to communing with nature and to studying the great works of art created by the artists of the past. Maria is a graduate of the National University of Arts, Bucharest, Romania, and has accomplished more than 200 portraits, many of which now reside in private collections throughout the world.
