Toymaker: My Journey From War to Wonder

摘要

TOM KAREN OBE was responsible for a great number of groundbreaking designs, from aircraft to white goods, and from a 'Popemobile' to crash test dummies, and - both while working and since retiring - toys. Karen is now 94, and his memoir, Toymaker: My Journey From War to Wonder, will be published this month. It recounts the process behind his designs, but also shares his life story, including spending his earliest years in Czechoslovakia before fleeing from the Nazis across war-torn Europe and settling in Britain, and gives insight into the generous creative mind responsible for much-loved toys such as Marble Run and the Raleigh Chopper.
