Hornby can trace its roots back to the very start of the 20th century and has since become one of the most iconic names in toy manufacturing, whose toys have delighted generations of children and collectors around the world. Its rich history is intertwined with that of many other famous toymakers, and today Hornby is the custodian of several heritage brands, including Airfix, Corgi and Scalextric. The Hornby Book of Collectable Toys vibrantly tells the story of their magical world of toys, from the early Meccano years through to the present day. Drawing on his experiences as an author, photographer, and interviewer of some of the greatest names in the British toy industry, Arthur Ward brings the industry to life. Packed with original colour photos, many previously unpublished, enthusiasts and novices will find something for them within these pages.

A lifelong collector, Arthur Ward has written many books about toys, plastic construction kits and miliary collectables. Best known perhaps for his books about Airfix – his first work was published in 1984, when the author was 25 years old – he has since written books about action figures, wartime printed ephemera and army badges.
