The Velveteen Rabbit
Margery Williams
6"x9" paperback, 36 pages
It must be your skin, I'm sinkin' in
It must be for real, 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind, it's not my kind
It's not my time to wonder why
Everything gone white, everything's grey
Now you're here, now you're away
I don't want this, remember that
I'll never forget where you're at
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine, glycerine
- Bush
A stuffed rabbit longs to be real in Margery Williams’ classic, presented here with a lovely cover by Gustave Courbet. Surprise appearances by a skin horse and scarlet fever make this into a heavier read than you probably remember. Long live the new flesh!
