About this product

Product Information

Humans have made and collected toy soldiers from time immemorial. They amuse and comfort us, awaken our curiosity, turn aggressiveness into creativity. In The History of Toy Soldiers , Luigi Toiati, himself an avid collector and manufacturer of toy soldiers, conveys and shares the pleasure of collecting and playing with them.Far from a dry encyclopedia, it leads the reader through the fascinating evolution of the toy soldier from ancient times to the early twenty-first century. The author, as a sociologist with an interest in semiotics (the study of signs), offers truly original insights into why different types of toy soldiers were born in a given period and country, or why in a given size and material.The author's writing is packed with factual detail about the different types of toy (and model) soldiers and their manufacturers, but also with anecdotes, nostalgia, wit and his enduring passion for the subject. Six hundred beautiful color photographs, many depicting the author's own collection, complete this delightful book.

    A good ongoing read.

    Good coverage of a very large subject. For collectors just starting out, this is a good comprehensive look at a super life long hobby, I can thoroughly recommend it. Good value for money with over 600 pages of very informative text by someone who obviously loves this hobby. I have been collecting for over sixty years and thought I knew quite a lot until I read this! Well done, you have left a good legacy.
