"Folk art" toys from home

This is not truly folk art although it includes folk pieces and Victorian toys. The most amusing piece, in my mind, is the Alice in Wonderland chess set. Folk toys include the Hanoi Puzzle and Noughts and Crosses. Victorian toys include chromatrope, thaumatrope, acrobat, gymnast and clown. Christmas is represented by two jigsaw puzzles. There are play "sets" for Cinderella's coach, oil rig, riding school, service station, grocer's shop, and a castle. This book should be of interest to toy makers, those interested in folk toys, etc.
