On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming.</p><p>But before long, the stuffed rabbit has been largely forgotten, and the rabbit dreams of becoming Real. To become Real, a wise old toy explains, is 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...</p><p>But how will the rabbit ever achieve his dream of becoming Real?</p>This is a heartwarming story that stands the test of time, and this affordable edition of the beloved classic includes the complete text and original illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old and wise and experienced like the Skin Horse understand all about it.</p><p>What is REAL? asked the Rabbit one day. Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?</p><p>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. It doesn't happen all at once. You become. It takes a long time. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.</p>
