A journey through a child’s room in the world of toys, from the late nineteenth century to the present. Staged in settings designed for the book, more than 500 toys from the collection of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris become actors in sketches from comical to unsettling and poetic. With an original essay by Alberto Manguel, the photographs evoke childhood imagination, the intimacy of the bedroom, and the magic of make-believe.
