Edward Tulane is a very dapper, very proud china rabbit who loves absolutely no one but himself. He lives a perfectly comfortable life with a young girl named Abilene, who adores him completely. But one fateful day, Edward is lost at sea, tumbling into the dark depths of the ocean and leaving his pampered life far behind. This sudden accident sets Edward on an extraordinary, decades-long journey across the country. From the tangled net of a gruff fisherman to the bustling streets of a big city, and from the dusty roads of a wandering traveler to the quiet bedside of an ailing child, Edward passes from owner to owner. With every new person he meets, the cold-hearted rabbit listens to their hopes, dreams, and sorrows. Slowly, the proud toy begins to change. He discovers that even a heart made of the most fragile china can learn to love, to break, and to bravely love again. This beautifully woven classic is a tender, unforgettable tale about the true meaning of belonging.
