A Velveteen celebration

We celebrated at lovely Ink@84 bookshop the publication of The Velveteen Rabbit and Other Classic Children’s Stories (Macmillan Collector’s Library). Here I am with my brilliant editor Harriet Sanders (photo by Nicholas Clee) and giving a short speech (photo by Jane Etheridge) and listening to Rebecca Clee read, with éclat, extracts from Rudyard Kipling and Margery Williams (photo by Megan Tanzer). We failed to photograph the fine crowd of local friends who joined us.
