Monty Python Presentation Pack

A cross-dressing lumberjack, a dead parrot, and the Spanish Inquisition’s moustachioed medieval torturers are among the cast of curious characters appearing in this richly illustrated souvenir packed with entertaining insights by film journalist Tom Huddleston.

The full set of six main stamps and the Miniature Sheet celebrating the 50th anniversary of Monty Python and the Holy Grail appear alongside archive images and illustrations by Terry Gilliam.
