內容簡介

  從自負到謙卑、從自私到懂得愛的珍貴...一段不可思議的旅程,見證一顆冰冷堅硬的心,逐漸軟化、成長的過程。

  愛德華是隻英俊挺拔的陶瓷兔子,他非常自負,也瞧不起小主人對牠的關愛。有一天,小主人的祖母說了個故事給他們聽,最後祖母在牠的耳裡說:「我對你真是太失望了!」這句話彷彿像詛咒一般,將愛德華拋出牠舒適的生活圈,展開四處流浪的生活。一路上牠認識了各式各樣的人物,有的照顧牠、有的將牠視為無用的垃圾,歷經各種心痛與打擊之後,愛德華早已顯得破舊不堪,牠也差點放棄了一切…就在這時,牠在一間玩具店重獲新生,也在鼓勵之下學會耐心等待愛人的機會來臨。最後,牠的等待沒有白費,因為最適合牠的孩子終於推開玩具店的大門,走進來了…【文∕博客來外文館】

  Once, in a house on Egypt Street, there lived a china rabbit named Edward Tulane. The rabbit was very pleased with himself, and for good reason: he was owned by a girl named Abilene, who adored him completely. 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 bedside of an ailing child to the bustling streets of Memphis. Along the way, we are shown a miracle -- that even a heart of the most breakable kind can learn to love, to lose, and to love again.

作者簡介

KATE DICAMILLO


  KATE DICAMILLO is the author of THE TALE of DESPEREAUX which received the Newbery Medal; BECAUSE of WINN-DIXIE, which received a Newbery Honor; THE TIGER RISING, which was named a National Book Award Finalist; and, most recently, the MERCY WATSON stories. She says, "One Christmas, I received an elegantly dressed toy rabbit as a gift. I brought him home, placed him on a chair in my living room, and promptly forgot about him. A few days later, I dreamed that the rabbit was face-down on the ocean floor - lost, and waiting to be found. In telling THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE, I was lost for a good long while, too. And then, finally, like Edward, I was found."

  BAGRAM IBATOULLINE is the illustrator of CROSSING by Philip Booth; THE NIGHTINGALE by Hans Christian Andersen, retold by Stephen Mitchell; THE ANIMAL HEDGE by Paul Fleischman; HANA in the TIME of the TULIPS by Deborah Noyes; and THE SERPENT CAME to GLOUCESTER by M.

I must admit, I'm a bit wistful now that I've come to the end of this very special book."
