What you need to know before your trail
He didn’t mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn’t matter.
In the nursery, only the toys that are old and wise truly understand what it means to be Real. The Velveteen Rabbit, a newcomer to the nursery, asks one of the most knowledgeable toys, the Skin Horse, what being Real means. And so begins the Velveteen Rabbit’s journey towards becoming real – through the love of a child .

The Velveteen Rabbit
Whilst there is no setting as such, this takes place in a toy room and inside a very nice and warm place inside many children’s hearts
Margery Williams was in fact born in London before moving with her family to America where they eventually settled in New York. The book has won many awards in America and is a staple in many American children’s childhoods.
When Margery was seven years old, her father died suddenly, and so this is understood to be the reason why there is so much sadness and a sense of loss in her books. However Williams always maintained it’s how our hearts heal and help others to heal that makes us stronger and more able to cope.
