More about the book

Creativity and resilience define Tom Karen's life, a renowned toymaker and designer known for iconic inventions like the Marble Run and Raleigh Chopper bike. Raised in a wealthy Czechoslovakian family, his childhood was marked by loneliness and upheaval as they fled Nazi Germany. Settling in the UK, Tom transformed his experiences into a prolific career, earning the title 'the man who designed the seventies.' This narrative explores how his imaginative designs reflect a century of creativity, shaping identity and inspiring future generations.
