In the early 1930s the world was in the grip of an economic depression. Ole Kirk Christiansen (Founder) felt its effects in his carpentry business – there was less and less work for him as house building stagnated. He looked around for other ways of earning a living. One was to make wooden toys – the year was 1932, and his toy business had started.
And the storie with the little bricks started ;) This year - on August 10 - the LEGO Company is celebrating his 75th birthday. (You can read the official press release about it here)
I wish you LEGO all the best! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :o)
