Something
happens when playing with, or even simply looking
at, an admired toy. Magic occurs. Long before
Cabbage Patch dolls, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,
and Tickle Me Elmo, America was mass-producing
simple, remarkable toys that usually sold for
less than a dollar. The Wonder of American
Toys by Charles Dee Sharp reflects more
than just the toys of perhaps the most formative
era of American history. It also explores what
they meant to the children who played with them
and to the society that produce them. From the
Jazz Age, the gangster era, the Depression,
World War II and the onset of the Atomic Age,
it's all compellingly presented here in a glorious
primer of life in America as it was lived not
so long ago. The book features narly 600 full
color photographs of over 800 toys and games.
Captions and brief commentaries provide a fascinating
read.
