  • The Velveteen Rabbit

    Margery Williams

    MP3 CD (IDB Productions, Jan. 1, 2016)
    THERE was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen. 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. There were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. For at least two hours the Boy loved him, and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner, and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten. For a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor, and no one thought very much about him. He was naturally shy, and being only made of velveteen, some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him. The mechanical toys were very superior, and looked down upon every one else; they were full of modern ideas, and pretended they were real. The model boat, who had lived through two seasons and lost most of his paint, caught the tone from them and never missed an opportunity of referring to his rigging in technical terms. The Rabbit could not claim to be a model of anything, for he didn't know that real rabbits existed; he thought they were all stuffed with sawdust like himself, and he understood that sawdust was quite out-of-date and should never be mentioned in modern circles. Even Timothy, the jointed wooden lion, who was made by the disabled soldiers, and should have had broader views, put on airs and pretended he was connected with Government. Between them all the poor little Rabbit was made to feel himself very insignificant and commonplace, and the only person who was kind to him at all was the Skin Horse.

If youfind some inconveniences, you will put up with them for the sake of all else that Paris gives you - its beau tiful streets and gardens, its museums, its art galleries, its theatres, and amusements. Paris is one of the richest cities in the world, and its wealth is added to constantly by the numbers who come here on business or pleasure. It is the visitor who supports very largely the commerce of the city. Fortunes are spent here yearly in clothes alone, for Paris has always been the centre of the world's fashions. From all over the globe people who have money to Spend come to Paris to spend it. In a sense it is the playground of other nations, for in no other city is the pleasure - seeker so catered for at every turn. To pass along the Grand Boulevard of an evening, at an hour when the audiences are dispersing from the theatres, and every café and restaurant is a blaze of lights, one might well imagine that the majority of people here had no other aim than to amuse them selves. Gaiety is in the very air of Paris, and relaxa tion, after the day's business is over, is an actual necessity to countless hundreds. Nowhere else do people work so hard or enjoy themselves so whole heartedly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
