About Nursery Magic Fairy[]
The Nursery Magic Fairy appears when the velveteen rabbit, Velvee, despairs and laments over his seemingly inevitable fate of being burned with the other toys. A teardrop of his falls to the ground and suddenly sparkles begin to appear. One sparkle lands on his nose and when he sneezes, the sparkle has turned into the fairy. She lets him know just who she is and explains that she looks after all the nursery's toys after they've received too much love. Therefore, she is a sort of guardian. Velvee tells her she should leave before the gardener catches her, but she assures him that not he nor anyone else can see her but Velvee. She is Velvee's savior and she tells him she came to grant him his wish of being made real. He insists that he is real, but that didn't do him much good. She tells him that he was real, at least to his owner, the boy, Robert, and now he won't be the only one who knows that is true. Taking Velvee out of the toy sack, she whisks him away to the forest.
When they arrive there, the Nursery Magic Fairy tells two rabbits whom Velvet had met earlier, Harry and Brenda, that he is to become as real as they are and instructs them to teach him everything he knows. With a kiss she gives to Velvee, sparkles surround him and he goes from being a toy rabbit to a real, live one. Brenda and Harry are amazed at seeing this. Brenda asks Velvee if he can do a somersault twice, but he tells her he feels as if he can do that thrice and that's just what he does. The Nursery Magic Fairy looks on contently before taking flight again and she departs.
