Bolton, UK (PRWEB UK) 13 December 2011

A brand new compilation of the top Christmas toys of the past 100 years highlights a host of golden oldies that are still best sellers.

The favourite 50 feature on a fun infographic by buy-and-sell specialist Cash Generator http://www.cashgenerator.co.uk/top-50-christmas-toys-of-the-last-100-years.aspx

The toy timeline starts with Christmas Past in the 1910s when the teddy was a must-have. The cuddly carried was inspired by President Theodore Roosevelt’s refusal to shoot an old black bear while on a hunting trip. The story prompted store owner Morris Michtom to stock “Teddy’s Bears” in his store. Now every child in the US and Europe has owned at least one teddy.

The nostalgic trip down the decades shows a string of survivors such as Crayola crayons from the 1920s, and perennially popular board games like Monopoly, inactive going strong 78 years after it was launched, Scrabble from the 1940s and Connect 4 from the 1970s.

The most glamorous toy of the century is 52-year-old Barbie, who is still at the top of children’s wish lists.

Although she was first popped into Santa’s sack in 1959, the blonde bombshell has been regularly updated and has enjoyed a variety of careers from Princess, pop star and architect to bus driver and vet.

The original dolls are now highly collectable as are many of the best sellers that have survived past playtimes. Last year a shopped Steiff Harlequin teddy was valued at £80,000, while a Raggedy Ann from the 1920s can fetch £600 at auction.
The Cash Generator infographic also includes toys whose appeal hasn’t spanned the generations. Those that failed to make it to Christmas Present include the long forgotten Mysto Erector, invented in 1913, and the obsolete Easy Bake Oven from the 1960s.

Some play things that were tied to film and TV programmes haven’t fared well either. These include Teddy Ruxpin and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from the 1980s and the High School Musical dance mat.

Although electronic games such as PlayStation and Wii dominate the past decade’s Christmas lists, their appeal may be short-lived as new technology takes over.

Louise Bruchez, of Cash Generator, says: “Our list seems to suggest that the simple ideas are the best. The toys that have survived longest have basic concepts that can’t be improved.

“The new electronic games have their place in Christmas wishlists and are great fun but whether they will make it to Christmas Future remains to be seen.”

Stamford, CT (PRWEB) October 28, 2011

Already translated into Vietnamese, Sound from a Star, received many requests from international publishers or foreign agents from more than half a dozen countries including China, Hungary, Lithuania, New Zealand, Poland, and Sharjah, UAE. The book’s publisher, Hannacroix Creek Books, Inc., was pleased with the positive buzz the new sci-fi mystery generated at the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Yager, a former Associated Press reporter and feature writer, began writing novels for younger readers a decade ago, after publishing two crime novels, Untimely Death and Just Your Everyday People, co-authored with his wife Jan. His first sci-fi novel, REX, another mystery but for a 9 and up audience, included raising a dinosaur on the upper West Side of Manhattan as part of the plot. Next, in 2005, his second sci-fi novel, this one for a young adult 13 and up audience, Cybersona, was a riveting story with a videogame as a central part of the engrossing storyline.

Praise is mounting for Yager’s latest sci-fi YA mystery, Sound from a Star, as evidenced by this 5 star review from Midwest Book Review:

‘”Sound From A Star” is a deftly written, original, and thoroughly entertaining read offering an engaging story that will grip the total attention of teen readers from first page to last. Highly recommended for both community library collections and personal reading lists.”

Using sound to heal is an idea that Yager sees getting out of the sci-fi realm into medicine and even into everyday life. Says Yager. “I believe that someday soon we’ll glimpsed sound being used as a way to cure those illnesses that appear immune to traditional or laser surgeries or chemotherapy and that what I have bestowed in my new novel as science fiction will, like most science fiction before it, one day turn out to be science ‘fact.’”

Sound from a Star, published by Hannacroix Creek Books, Inc.(http://www.hannacroixcreekbooks.com) in hardcover ($ 31.95 retail list price) and trade paperback ($ 15.95), is available from your favorite online or local bookseller or directly from the publisher. The e-book version is $ 8.80 and you can buy it from http://www.mobi-book.com (http://www.mobi-book.com/product/Information/V0003365B?lan=1).
