To the Historian, it is not only great public events and commerce of a period which provide the picture of that era. As much evidence, if not more, comes from a study of the homes and domestic arts of the time, from its paintings, its literature and its sports and pastimes. And it is in this respect that children’s toys and games have a curious attraction, as well as the ability to mirror a way of life so different from that of the present-day
materialistic age.
