No. 5 of 10 · Becoming Real
A New Playfellow
Pictures by William NicholsonWords by Margery Williams
William Nicholson's bold woodcut lamb stands on a field of gold, paired with a line from Margery Williams's The Velveteen Rabbit: "I've brought you a new playfellow." Williams's story follows a toy loved so much that it becomes Real, and Nicholson drew the pictures for its first edition. For a little one with a new friend on the way.
