Dickens Village Dickens Village|”To Keep the Doctor Away”

An apple a day keeps the doctor away is a common English-language proverb that appeared in the 19th century. It advocated for the consumption of apples, and by extension if one eats healthy foods, one will remain in good health. Made from high-quality porcelain, its intricately detailed features are hand-painted by skilled artisans.

Victorian England, at the time of Charles Dickens, was the center of culture for the world and where many traditions we celebrate today took shape. Its architecture, customs, and history are inherent in the Dickens Village Series from Department 56.
