Is there any kind of official or rumored explanation as to the origin of the Belville name? This question occurred to me recently when I was looking through one of my M.C. Escher books for building ideas and (as I've done many times before) was (...) (23 years ago, 1-Feb-02, to lugnet.belville)

(...) They are in ascending size(value) order, so 5836 is small and 5850 is on the way to 5808. With last year's selection it did look like the theme was scratching for ideas and on the wane. A range of 6 different sized sets does hold hope for (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)

One of the things that I really dig about the Belville Fairy Tale sets is the way the instructions picture the figures from the set actually putting it together. For those of you that have never seen these instructions, unlike the regular (...) (23 years ago, 3-Jan-02, to lugnet.belville)

In looking through the new January, 2002 S@H catalog I see that the Belville offerings are down to two small sets - one each from the Fairy Tale and Beach themes.
