Factory Of Dreams

Meccano...Hornby trains...Dinky toys...These names are guaranteed to bring back fond childhood memories, to mist the eyes of all who played with - or dreamed of owning - these astonishingly successful toys. All three of these household names were actually the product of one Liverpool-based company, Meccano Ltd, established in 1901. From Frank Hornby's invention of his original Meccano set, right through to the sad closure of the factory in 1979, Kenneth Brown relates the story of this fairly typical British family-owned enterprise. This book, for the first time, explains both the rise & fall of the great British institution.
