Dickens' Village Collection; Dept 56

This English village owes a great deal of its popularity to the author after whom it was named. Charles Dickens. Six of his novels are portrayed in at least one building within the collection.  Rural countryside pieces with thatched roofs and small town shops dominated for many years, while more recent buildings seem to reflect an urban London from the past.  Truly represent the Old Worlde Charm and history of another time.
