Esli khocheshʹ statʹ nastoi͡ashchim, nuzhno, chtoby tebi͡a po-nastoi͡ashchemu poli͡ubili. Vot tut-to i nachinaetsi͡a volshebstvo. . . Kniga Mardzheri Uilʹi͡ams "Pli͡ushevyĭ zai͡at͡s, ili Kak igrushki stanovi͡atsi͡a nastoi͡ashchimi" vpervye vyshla v 1922 godu i srazu stala klassikoĭ detskoĭ literatury.

Every toy, whether it's a doll, a fire truck, or a stuffed rabbit, dreams of becoming a real one. But they don't become real by magic. If you want to become real, you need to be truly loved. That's where the magic begins . . . Margery Williams' book "The Teddy Hare, or How Toys Become Real" was first published in 1922 and immediately became a classic of children's literature. Children are still strange creatures. They build shelters for toys and believe that a rabbit stuffed with sawdust feels everything and is actually real. They like to run barefoot on the grass and are ready to listen to fairy tales for hours. Not like us adults. We all understand how the world works. Every thing should have its own place, a new toy is better than a battered old one, and running barefoot is unhealthy – you can catch a cold. The story of a stuffed rabbit who wanted to become real with all his heart has been touching not only children, but also their parents, grandparents for more than 100 years. Yes, the sentimental tale by Margery Williams, published in 1922, is still being republished all over the world. Cartoons and movies were made based on this book, and in the video version of The Teddy Bunny, the text was read by the great actress Meryl Streep. Maybe because Margery Williams was inspired by Walter de La Mare's poetry? Or is it because she gave her voice to the child that lives in every adult?Anyway, the magical story of how sincerity, love, and faith in a miracle make the most incredible things possible is now with us, too, with the gentle and at the same time poignant illustrations by Valery Kozlov.
