They're all around us. We use them daily, pass them by, and it
never occurs to us to stop and think about where they came from. What, you
ask?
The most ordinary things in the world, of course! Shoes, umbrellas, toothbrushes, toothpicks, socks, dolls, and so on and so
forth.
How did they come to be? Who invented them, how did they develop and
change over time? If you'd like to know the answer to these questions,
to
peek behind the curtain that drapes the most ordinary stuff in mystery, then
definitely read on and learn the story of common things.
