Summary:

"Each time toys are brought up, children are the first thing to come to mind, and vice versa. Games and toys, both as vital to adults as they are to children, are generally doomed to either disappear or remain in museums and private collections, scattered across all four corners of the world, not to mention those that lie buried underneath the ground, left behind by humanity, waiting to be found for centuries or even millennia.Anatolian Toy Culture is the outcome of twenty years' worth of efforts at collecting artefacts, data and photographic documents, and ensure that they be submitted to interdisciplinary classification and expert assessment. This book contains the most comprehensive account so far of the colourful, creative, and truly astonishing adventure of toys in Anatolia, from the most ancient civilisations to the Ottoman Empire, and from the early decades of the Republican era until the present day..."-- Back cover.
