Author Description

Making toys was new to Hong Kong. Most toy manufacturing pioneers started with little formal education, had next-to-no capital and relied on trial and error to learn the business. Yet within 15 years, Hong Kong would become the world s second largest toy exporter, overtaking Germany in 1964, leaving only Japan to beat...it was nothing short of a miracle. In this trailblazing industry biography, veteran toymakers and their international partners share their triumphs and setbacks, shedding light for the first time on Hong Kong s untold toy story.
