About this product

Product Information

It has now been over a century since Frank Hornby invented a toy to amuse his sons and called it Meccano, coining a word which has entered the dictionary as a term in common usage and is now known all over the world. Hornby's vision of an educational toy became the basis of perhaps the most successful British toy business of the twentieth century. Meccano has amused generations of children, encouraging many to become successful engineers. Roger Marriott here explores the long history of Meccano, charting the development of the various sets and components, which for decades have been interchangeable, and explains the endless fascination of this iconic construction toy.

  • A detailed and insightful review.

    This book describes the history of Meccano in as much detail as anybody could wish, but its special value is in explaining the pros and cons of the many changes in the toy, and in relating them to British national life.
