    What an amazing & inspiring story so beautifully told & illustrated. Made me think of my late father who was a master craftsman. He was a school teacher who taught woodworking & technical drawing amongst other subjects. His workshop was a shed at the bottom of the garden where he spent most evenings making furniture etc. When he retired he spent a lot of his time handcrafting wooden toys for children at a nearby hospital/home for disabled children. The last thing he did was set off on his bicycle to buy linseed oil to finish some toys he was working on. He collapsed & never came out of hospital. He was 81. I was his oldest daughter & he'd hoped for a son. My childhood toys were not dolls but meccano (erector sets) & other building sets with tiny bricks, mortar & trowels that u could build miniature houses with. I learned a lot from him. Later in life I was able to do carpentry, tiling, plumbing etc. Thanks for posting this lovely video.

    I never had Lego growing up nor did my brother. But seeing this heartwarming story of Lego makes me so happy that other kids had them and how perseverance pays off letting nothing stop you from accomplishing. Hard times, fire, how to improve on something. The history of this toy is amazing. Thanks for sharing.
