Description:
This second impression of the 2018 first paperback edition of Robert Dinsdale's enchanting novel, The Toy Makers, is known for its decorative sprayed edges. The book is a blend of historical fiction and magical realism, centred around the mysterious Papa Jack's Toy Emporium in London. It tells the story of a young runaway named Cathy Wray who finds herself working for the family business, which creates magical toys. As she is welcomed into the family, she discovers that the Emporium and the family have their own dark secrets. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the novel explores themes of family conflict, love, loss, and the nature of magic itself. This edition, with its distinctive sprayed edges, is a great read for fans of magical realism and historical fiction and a good example of special editions produced for paperback releases.
