The Velveteen Rabbit is a book by Margery Williams, it was illustrated by William Nicholson and originally published in 1922 . It is a very interesting example of symbolism and has a deep message about becoming 'real' . My dissertation is about the significance of certain symbols and images with in art and in particular the rabbit . This story struck a chord with me not only because of its beautiful illustrations but because of the sentiment and wisdom of the tale. It is also significant to me that Williams chose a rabbit as the main character , a gentle vulnerable animal who is none threatening and appealing and with whom most of us can identify .
