Pageant of Toys, by Mary Hillier. London: Elek Books, 1965, 155 pp., 50s

Thomas E. Cone Jr M.D.

This charming, beautifully illustrated book would be enjoyed just as much by the pedaitrician's wife as by the pediatrician. It is one of those books all of us occasionally come across which appeal not only to the nostalgic, sentimeiltal side of our lives but also fill a gap in our knowledge of how and what children did with their playtime in the past. The author shows clearly how important a study of toys would be if we were to try to understand the social history of children.
