About the book:
The classic tale by Kate DiCamillo about the enduring power of love is now available in an exquisite twentieth-anniversary edition with sprayed edges, complete with a special afterword by the author and an all-new illustration by the artist.
Once, there lived a rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, for he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who adored him. And then, one day, he was lost. Kate DiCamillo takes us on an extraordinary journey, from the depths of the ocean to the net of a fisherman, from the top of a garbage heap to the fireside of a hobo camp, from the bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. And along the way, we are shown a true miracle--that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.
