  Margery Williams’ timeless classic The Velveteen Rabbit is the tender, magical story of a stuffed toy rabbit who longs to become real through the love of a child. Nestled among the other toys in the nursery, the Velveteen Rabbit listens as the wise old Skin Horse explains the mysterious alchemy of love that turns toys into something more. 
  When he becomes the beloved companion of a young boy, the Rabbit’s journey begins — one of devotion, adventure, loss, and quiet transformation. With gentle prose and heartfelt wisdom, Williams explores childhood, love, and the bittersweet path to becoming truly alive. 
  Narrated with warmth and intimacy by Stephen Byrne, this cherished tale speaks as much to adults as to children, reminding us that the things we love — and are loved by — shape us in the most lasting ways.

  Hollywood’s 10 Greatest Actresses

  Editors Charles River

  Early in her career, there was no actress more controversial than Katharine Hepburn. Late in her career, there was no actress more beloved than Katharine Hepburn. Famously labeled “box office poison” in 1938, it is clear that Hollywood was not prepared for the young Hepburn.  
  Bette Davis presided over Hollywood at a time in which the film industry was at its most influential. Every actress from Katharine Hepburn to Ingrid Bergman and Ginger Rodgers, themselves now considered among Hollywood’s greatest icons, lived in the shadow of Bette Davis. Not only was Davis a box office sensation and commercial success - she became the highest paid actress in 1938 - but she garnered more critical acclaim than any other actress during the time period. 
  Audrey Hepburn continues to retain her popularity and exert a strong influence over how people view beauty and sophistication. She remains an American icon, despite the fact that she did not even move to the United States until 1953 (at the age of 24). 
  Of all the great movie stars, there may be none more enigmatic than Greta Garbo, who remains internationally famous despite the fact her life and career raise more questions than answers. How did a Swedish actress with very little film acting experience in her native land arrive in the United States and achieve instant stardom? 
  	Few actresses lived their lives in the public eye more than Marilyn Monroe, and yet her life remains shrouded in mystery to this day. While it is common knowledge that Marilyn’s life is a rags-to-riches story, her life is bookended by hazy details surrounding her early life and even more mysterious death.  
  Elizabeth Taylor bears little in common with the paradigm of the troubled child star. After arriving in America at the age of 9, Taylor was indoctrinated into Hollywood shortly after child stars Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney, but her experience represented the flip side of the coin.
