No other craft so brilliantly captures the magic of turning a handle, &thorn;icking a switch, or pulling a lever to see the unexpected come to life.<i>Automata and Mechanical Toys</i> is a book for anyone drawn to simple, entertaining mechanics. The book features 21 leading makers, each with a distinctive style. With 160 color photos and 100 delightful examples of the craft, the book is a feast for collectors and enthusiasts. A substantial section of the book is devoted to making automata mechanisms, ideal for novices or those wishing to learn new techniques. Illustrated, step-by-step instructions explain how to make a bearings box, which separately houses all the main mechanisms used in automata. The box can then be converted to any mechanism you choose. Rodney Pepp&eacute; is a winner of the British Toymakers&#146; Guild Toy of the Year Award; he has had exhibitions of his work at the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum of Childhood. He is also the author of <i>Rodney Pepp&eacute;&#146;s Moving Toys.</i>
