Lego is, without question, the single greatest toy ever created. The small interlocking bricks, wooden at first, plastic from 1947, invented by a Danish carpenter called Ole Kirk Christiansen in his workshop, have brightened the lives of countless generations of children the world over.
The best Christmas present I ever received as a child was a Lego set. Compared to the elaborate kits of today, it was simple: just multicoloured bricks of different shapes with a few little windows and wheels that came with tiny rubber tyres.
