Margery Williams Bücher

Lange sitzt der kleine Hase zwischen den anderen Sachen im Spielzeugregal und hört, wie sie behaupten, sie seien echt. 'Was bedeutet echt?', fragt er das weise Schaukelpferd. 'Echt bedeutet nicht, wie man gemacht ist', sagt das Schaukelpferd. 'Es heißt, dass etwas mit dir geschieht. Wenn ein Kind dich sehr lange liebt, nicht nur gerne mit dir spielt, sondern dich wirklich liebt, dann wirst du echt.' Von diesem Tag an wünscht sich der Hase nichts sehnlicher, als endlich echt zu werden, und wird der beste Freund des kleinen Jungen. 'The Velveteen Rabbit' ist eine zauberhafte Geschichte über das Wunder der Liebe und Freundschaft.

Kuschel, der Samthase, träumt davon, lebendig zu werden und mit den Wildkaninchen zu spielen. Das alte Holzpferd erzählt ihm, dass Stofftiere zum Leben erweckt werden können, wenn sie geliebt werden. Max, der Kuschel geschenkt bekam, schließt ihn in sein Herz. Doch wird Kuschels Liebe am Ende belohnt?

A stuffed toy rabbit (with real thread whiskers) comes to life in Margery Williams' timeless tale of the transformative power of love. Given as a Christmas gift to a young boy, the Velveteen Rabbit lives in the nursery with all of the other toys, waiting for the day when the Boy (as he is called) will choose him as a playmate. In time, the shy Rabbit befriends the tattered Skin Horse, the wisest resident of the nursery, who reveals the goal of all nursery toys: to be made "real" through the love of a human. "'Real isn't how you are made,' said the Skin Horse. 'It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real.'" This sentimental classic--perfect for any child who's ever thought that maybe, just maybe , his or her toys have feelings--has been charming children since its first publication in 1922. (A great read-aloud for all ages, but children ages 8 and up can read it on their own.)
