Here's another gift idea suggestion from the team at Silksoundbooks - but I'll start with a quiz.

What do you get if you combine John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, the late great Graham Chapman and Silksoundbooks audio book star reader Terry Jones ??

The answer, of course, is Monty Python's Flying Circus. It's hard to believe that this very British comedy series was first broadcast in 1969. To this day the Pythons have fans all over the world - even Elvis Presley was said to be a huge fan!

The new DVD release - Almost The Truth: The Lawyer's Cut - would make a great gift for Python fans old and new. The 3 disc set contains all the TV episode plus extended interviews and previously unseen material along with clips from their movies. One for me please!

Did you know that as well as being a comedy legend, Terry Jones is also a highly respected authority on the writings of Geoffrey Chaucer ?

In his exclusive Silksoundbooks audio books, The Prologue to The Canterbury Tales and The Miller's Tale, Terry reads his own translations from Middle English into modern language and adds a smattering of hilarious and highly informative notes, recorded as he read.

And, because Christmas and the holiday season are nearly upon us, download 'The Prologue' and you will get get 'The Miller's Tale' absolutely free!
