Editorial Reviews

“Miss Margery Williams’s story for young readers, The Velveteen Rabbit, is a fresh and alluring fairy tale about a toy that came to life like the statue of Galatea and provoked many queer speculations about the difference between real life and imaginary occurrences. It has pictures by Mr William Nicholson, which show this well-known artist in a rather novel light.” – The Scotsman, 1922

“For very little people The Velveteen Rabbit, by Miss Margery Williams, is a very charming little tale. The rabbit is a most engaging and fascinating little person who, after a long and exciting life, at last finds himself thrown on the dust heap. But this, happily, is not the end, for he is taken pity on by the “fairy of old toys,” who promptly turns him into a dear little live bunny, so our farewell is not a bit of dusty worn velveteen, but to a brown furry creature toddling joyfully away to his home in the woods.” – Derbyshire Advertiser and Journal, 1922
