Troubadix is the bard of the village. Opinions about his talent are divided: He thinks himself brilliant, everyone else finds him indescribable. Troubadix takes every opportunity to perform his compositions for the villagers. Instead of applause, however, he all too often receives a beating for his singing skills or is gagged and tied to the nearest tree. So he'd better stay in his tree house. While Troubadix thinks about melodies upstairs, Mrs. Methusalix tends the chickens downstairs. When he is silent, Troubadix is really a pleasant fellow. The set includes the bard Troubadix and Mrs. Methusalix, Troubadix tree house with furnishings and removable roof, a bagpipe, a violin, a harp and many other extras for exciting Gaulish adventures. With the included rope, a figure can be tied and tied to a branch.
