First edition.
A poignant children's story that explores themes of love, acceptance,
and the transformative power of being cherished. It tells the tale of a
wise, old toy horse who resides in a nursery and imparts wisdom to a new,
stuffed rabbit. The Skin Horse explains to the rabbit that toys become
"real" through the love of a child, not just through their physical
state or appearance. This process is often accompanied by wear
and tear, showing that realness comes from being deeply loved and
valued, rather than being perfect or new. The story emphasizes that
true beauty and worth are found in the relationships and love shared
between individuals, rather than in their external appearances
