The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams Bianco
5.0
I didn't grow up with this one, as far as I'm able to tell there was never an official translation into Norwegian. I think I recall watching an animated short film based on it when I was very, very young, but that's all.
I'm in my thirties and I started weeping like a baby at, like, page three, and I didn't stop until I'd finished. Right away the story feels so universal, right away it speaks about how love changes you. I like to imagine if someone HAD read me this as a child, I would feel that same warm flush of awe, and perhaps suspect that the story was about more than just childhood toys being alive.
