The book Why Didn't I Think of That! includes the
passage "If a toy has magic, when people see it they
say, 'Oooh! What is that?' . . . It appeals to the kid in
everybody." That same kind of magic captures "the kid in
everybody" when they pick up Timeless Toys: Classic Toys
and the Playmakers Who Created Them. Timeless Toys represents one of the finest documentaries
and displays of modern toys ever written. Author Tim Walsh,
a successful toy inventor himself, reveals a world of
commerce, toys, and wonder that is equally fun,
fascinating, and nostalgic. Readers of every age and
background will find it impossible to pick up this book,
turn a few pages, and not become spellbound by its
insightful stories and the personal memories that the text
and 420 brilliantly colored photographs bring forth. Slinky, Lego, Tonka trucks, Monopoly, Big Wheel, Frisbee,
Hula Hoop, Super Ball, Scrabble, Barbie, Radio Flyer
Wagons: All of these and many, many more are featured in
this fascinating tome, along with the toys' histories,
insider profiles, and rare interviews with toy industry
icons. It's simply magic!
