This like-new hardcover is near fine, no marks, pages are tight and appear unread, the book is tight, square, and unmarked. The dust jacket is unmarked, and the boards match the design of the dust jacket. The Velveteen Rabbit, written by Margery Williams and illustrated by William Nicholson, is a classic children’s book first published in 1922. William Nicholson’s illustrations are beautifully understated, using soft colors and minimalist designs that complement the gentle tone of the story. His work gives the book a vintage charm and helps evoke the era in which it was written.
