In a nutshell:
Edward is a porcelain rabbit who is vain and proud. When his
owner loses him at sea he goes on a journey, meeting people who will teach him
about love and hope.
What you may enjoy:
A beautiful story, both touching and heartbreaking. You grow
attached to each character just as Edward does. The plot keeps you spellbound
all the way to the end of the book. And the artwork is stunning!
