The Wonder of American Toys, 1920-1950
The Wonder of American Toys reflects not only the toys of perhaps the most formative era of American history, but what they meant to the children who played with them and to the society that produced them.
Mr. Oddley's Toy Shop
In book two of the Legendary Adventures of Maggie Golden series, Maggie, Molly, and Tim are back in an exciting new adventure: Mr. Oddley?s Toy Shop. Right before the holiday season, the entire town starts buzzing about Mr. Oddley, the owner of an old rundown toy store, and about the incredible toys he makes. But why? Well, because his creations appear to defy the laws of physics; they work in a way that is magical: flying discs that always return no matter where you throw them, spring toys that climb up as well as down the stairs, and so much more. But? is it magic or is something else going on? No one seems to care how it?s done, though, and Mr. Oddley and his creations become an overnight sensation. The huge crowds of people that regularly line up outside his store couldn?t be more delighted. But not everyone is happy about the toymaker?s success, and that turns out to be a big problem for him and for our three young heroes. I?ll meet you later at the toy shop. It?s located at the corner of Memory Lane and Chance Street. But wear comfortable shoes. We?ll probably be standing on line for a long, long time.

The sudden appearance of her school mate awakens Maggies dormant memories of life on her parents farm and suddenly Maggie's well-ordered life falls apart.
Toy Stories
Toy Stories: Analyzing the Child in Nineteenth-Century Literature explores the stakes of recurrent depictions of children’s violent, damaging, and tenuously restorative play with objects within a long nineteenth century of fictional and educational writing. As Vanessa Smith shows us, these scenes of aggression and anxiety cannot be squared with the standard picture of domestic childhood across that period. Instead, they seem to attest to the kinds of enactments of infant distress we would normally associate with post-psychoanalytic modernity, creating a ripple effect in the literary texts that nest them: regressing developmental narratives, giving new value to wooden characters, exposing R...
