REVISITED 25 YEARS LATER… THE ORIGINAL SHOPS OF DICKENS’ VILLAGE…

From the Dickens' Village collection
In 1984, the Shops of Dickens’ Village, which later became the Dickens’ Village Series®, was born with seven small and simple designs representing the core elements of an English town in the 19th Century. In 2009, Department 56 celebrates the Silver Anniversary of the beloved Village. To commemorate this anniversary, Department 56 is pleased to introduce several inspiring new pieces, by giving collectors a fresh series of buildings based on the classic pieces introduced in 1984. A wonderful way for customers to complete their Dickens Village displays.
