| Item # 58491Named for a squab and swarthy type of dark-red baking apples, this charming building was inspired by a scene from Dicken's classic novel A Christmas Carol. "..the Spirit stood with Scrooge beside him in a baker's doorway, and taking off the covers as their bearers passed, sprinkled incens on their dinners from his torch. And it was a very uncommon kind of torch, for once or twice when there were angry words between some dinner-carriers who had jostled with each other, he shed a few drops of water on them from it, and their good humor was restored directly. For they said, it was a shame to quarrel on Christmas Day. And so it was!" Part of "A Christmas Carol" series. Interior scene features fresh baked goodies. Coordinates with "Chestnut Vendor" (#58557). Expected to begin shipping in October 2002. |
