Margery Williams Bianco wrote children's stories best known for The Velveteen Rabbit. The book follows a stuffed rabbit who wants to become real through the love of the child who owns him, using conversations with other toys and the passage of time to distinguish emotional reality from physical appearance. The story is brief and gentle, but it also deals with illness, loss and separation rather than staying entirely cosy. Williams wrote other children's fiction about toys, animals and childhood imagination, though none is as widely associated with her name. Her work fits classic children's literature, toy stories and read-aloud fiction with a fairy-tale quality. The Velveteen Rabbit remains the essential entry point, particularly for readers looking for a short classic about toys, attachment and becoming 'real' through love. Read more Less
