一趟失去愛、學會愛、找回愛的旅程。
很久很以前，有隻小瓷兔住在埃及街的一房子裡。
小瓷兔的耳朵是用真的兔毛做成的，一如他柔軟蓬鬆的尾巴。
小瓷兔從耳朵頂端到腳尖，將近有一公尺高。
他的眼睛是豔藍色。
他的名字叫愛德華；他擁有一整櫃絲套裝和一隻金色懷錶。
愛德華為阿比林所有，阿比林對著愛德華說話，仿佛他是真的人一樣。
有一天，阿比林一家搭船前往英國。
有兩個男孩從甲板的座椅一把抓起愛德華，開始拋來拋去。
不久，愛德華的懷滾落到甲板上，接著愛德華從船上掉進了水裡！
愛德華撞擊水面後一路往下沈，沈到了海底。
兩百九十七天之後，一場暴風雨將愛德華送進一個漁夫的漁網裡。
漁夫把愛德華帶回家給太太，漁夫太太將愛德華照顧無微不至。
但他們成年的女兒回到家中時，卻對父母照料一隻瓷兔子感到極為反感，
她把愛德華丟進垃圾桶，然後扔到垃圾堆。
