| Publisher Description: This early manual is a fascinating read for any handicraft enthusiast or historian. Extensively illustrated with working diagrams and photographs it forms a complete how-to guide that is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of the amateur or professional woodworker. Contents Include: Preface; A Child's Pedal or Electric Motor Car; A Child's Scooter; An Attractive Doll's House; Wiring a Doll's House For Electricity; A Model Electric Railway; Building Model Boats; How to Make Kites; A Greyhound Racing Track; Cardboard Modelling; Magic Lanterns and Telescopes; Outdoor Play Aids; and an Index. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |
