The Velveteen Rabbit Underground
velveteenrabbitunderground
We are a group of modern day treasure hunters who are professional teachers, sailors, storytellers, glassblowers, and children's librarians. We travel the earth over in search of unusual, hard-to-find, rare, and even scarce children's books. I guess you could call us "bibliophile treasure hunters" -- our treasures are rare books. A book lover's treasure is their books. And over the decades we have amassed and curated an amazing and unique collection. We have come together to create The Velveteen Rabbit Underground to share our mad-capped bibliophile treasure hunting experiences with the world. Follow along as we go in search of our next great biblio-find!
