The Marvelous Thing That Came From A Spring

One day a spring fell from the desk of Richard James, an engineer and a dreamer. Its coils took a walk . . . and so did Richard's imagination. He knew right away that he had stumbled onto something marvelous. Richard and his wife, Betty, took this ordinary spring and turned it into a plaything. But it wasn't just any old trinket--it was a Slinky, and it would become one of the most popular toys in American history. This book captures the joy, creativity, and determination behind the invention of an iconic, one-of-a-kind toy.
