Cardboard Christmas

A reader writes:
I have searched High and Low for the past 30 years for information on and a copy of the village I remember fondly building with my dad as a young child. I cant believe I found it on your site!!! and in flat form! Do you have any more information that you can share on the Cut and Paste "King Cole" set. I only have Santa's sleigh left and part of a house. Please Please help. Thank you

Can anybody fill in the gaps for this person? Thanks,

I suggest the reader pop in periodically to this Flickr group of paper toy enthusiasts--which is constantly being updated--I found a forgotten trolley car there for a friend recently https://www.flickr.com/groups/vintagecr ... 224070722/

Great link, Maria. We visited Pollock's in London a few years ago. Tiny little store with lots of these packaged Victorian paper theaters with paper characters you could move in and out on sticks and scripts for the young puppeteers to read. The opening of the 2002 Nicholas Nickleby movie shows an example. I could stare at this artwork all day.
