This is a 1e (First Edition). Ya just can't mention Boydsville School of Book Learnin' without mentioning Mrs. Applesworth. Heck, she's been teachin' there for as long as folks can remember! Known always to have a book in hand and a dusting of chalk on her dress, she's runs a tight ship, often telling her students, "If you're not here to learn, then you're in the wrong place!" Don't believe it? Well just ask Little Tommy Bearsworth. You'll find him sittin' upstairs, wearin' a dunce cap and lamenting over his "less than acceptable" classroom behavior. If ya listen real close, you might just hear him mumblin' "A, B, C, D, E, F, J, G....don't know why the teacher is always pickin' on me!" Welcome to the miniature world of Boydsville! A world where wee lil’ Boyds Bears® live, work and play. Where every morning, you can hear the church bells echo through the valley and the streets come alive with the laughter and delight of children making their way to school. Where just a short ways out of town, farmers tend to their fields and the aroma of freshly baked apple pie fills the fresh country air. Overtime we’ll meet more members of the Boydsville Community….the merchants along main street in town, Boydsville wealthiest folks livin’ high in the hills in mansions that have stood for generations, and folks with simpler needs, finding comfort and shelter in their cozy lil’ homes nestled in the Boydsville countryside. Each multi-level Boydsville structure has a removable roof and floors and includes at least two wee-little townsfolk depicting everyday life in Boydsville. Each sculpted inhabitant measures less than ¾” tall and is hand-painted with precise detail and craftsmanship. The townsfolk can be removed from their Boydsville abode or kept inside…depending on the weather outside of course!
