玩具既是孩子的玩伴,亦見證了時代的變遷。對香港而言,玩具還有多一層意義,因為這裏曾是全球最大的玩具製造中心,訂單來自世界各地,生產和出口的玩具數量驚人,於是香港玩具便成了世界潮流的縮影。本圖錄精選約330件(組)香港製造或香港人熟悉的玩具,輔以歷史圖片,引領讀者緬懷童年歲月之餘,同時認識不同門類玩具背後的有趣故事、香港玩具工業的輝煌歷史,以及玩具以何種面貌適應新時代。
Toys are not only children's playmates; they also bear testimony to changes over time. For Hong Kong, toys have a special meaning because the city was once the world's largest toy manufacturing hub, with orders coming from all around the world. The volume of toys produced here was astoundingly large, and Hong Kong toys naturally reflected global trends. This catalogue features approximately 330 selected toys that were made in Hong Kong or were well known among Hong Kong people. Using historical images, the book allows readers to reminisce about their childhood, and at the same time narrates the interesting stories behind the different kinds of toys, the glorious history of the Hong Kong toy industry, and how toys have adapted to the new era.
