About this product

Product Information

Inspired by James's exploits, the book covers both the stories behind a number of classic toys and the adventures in summer 2009 as James and his helpers, children and adults of all ages, build and recreate a range of toys in a series of Top Gear style escapades. In six ambitious projects, he enlists the help of volunteers and schoolchildren to help him build a 1/1 scale model kit of a Supermarine Spitfire Mk I; creates the world's longest Scalextric track at the historic Brooklands motor-racing circuit in Surrey; builds a full-size Lego house; enters a garden made entirely from Plasticine in the RHS Chelsea Flower Show; runs a Hornby train set along a 10-mile stretch of track from Barnstaple to Bideford and uses a giant Meccano bridge to span the 40ft Pier Head canal in Liverpool. Each chapter includes details of how the projects were constructed, with diagrams, illustrations and informal photography taken during the filming. The book also features a history of the toys themselves, from true British roots to their international appeal today. Toy Stories also offers 12 simple but fun projects linked to these toys to carry out in your own home, accompanied by step-by-step instructions, illustrations and diagrams.

  • Pure nostalgia - noone over the age of 45 should miss this

    James May, jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond of Top Gear fame all write books. The difference is that all Jeremy's are collections of his articles from various publications, most recently Top Gear magazine and usually the Times, which means if you take those papers it's old news. Richard writes from scratch and is insightful and often poignant. James does both, and is intellectually superior, if a little nerdy. But still excellent, all three. You have to have a sense of humour, preferably dry and wry. If you haven't got one, steer clear. The rest will love all of them.
