Hornby can trace its roots back to the beginning of the 20th century and has since become one of the most recognised names in toy manufacturing, with toys that have delighted generations of children and collectors around the world. Its rich history is intertwined with that of many other famous toy manufacturers, and today Hornby is the custodian of several heritage brands, including Airfix, Corgi and Scalextric. The book Hornby Book of Collectable Toys vividly tells the story of their magical toy world, from the early Meccano years to the present day. Arthur Ward draws on his experience as an author, photographer and interviewer of some of the biggest names in the British toy industry to bring the industry to life. With many previously unpublished original colour photos, enthusiasts and newcomers alike will find something here.
