The Toymaker
Illustrated by Terry Milne
A story for any child interested in the passage of time and the interplay of generations. The first part tells of the toymaker, his daughter and the dolls he makes for her; the second, of the daughter, now grown up, who returns to her old home with her grandchild. The tale is simply told with large and delicate illustrations so that infants found it easy to understand. Slightly older children would enjoy the neat twist at the end.
