LEGO STORY HOW LITTLE TOY SPARKED WORLDS IMAGINATION HC (C:(W) Andersen, JensMARINER BOOKSStockID: 58505 SKU: SEP221814From bare-bones wooden toys to plastic interlocking bricks- from a single rectangle on which a child could build a simple house to the ability to recreate the worlds of Harry Potter- Star Wars- Batman- and more- hundreds of millions of people around the world have played with LEGOs- driven around in toy cars at LEGOLAND- and flocked to theaters to watch The LEGO Movie and its sequels. Some have taken their passion into adulthood- building in the late hours when the younger generation has been tucked into bed. As ubiquitous as the LEGO company is- the family behind the brand is an enigma. Now- for the first time- the Kirk Kristiansen family has agreed to tell the story of LEGO and their life's work. Through interviews with Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen-who represents the third generation of the family business-and with access to the vast LEGO archive- Jens Andersen takes the reader back to the very beginning of LEGO and chronicles its improbable journey to become the iconic company that it is today.This is a PRESALE.
