2019 marks the 20th anniversary of the publication of the prize-winning children's book 'The Gruffalo' written in rhyming couplets by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. With worldwide sales of over 13 million in 59 editions, it quickly became established as a children's classic.
The delightful, colourful Generic Sheet carries 10 stamps, all from the The Gruffalo miniature sheet - six 1st class stamps of Owl and Mouse and four £1.55 stamps of Fox and Snake. All ten labels reproduce familiar phrases from the story corresponding to the attached stamp.
Each cover in the pair carries five stamps and labels from the sheet together with a 20th Anniversary Toadstool cachet, a woodland image and a pictorial Butterfly Walk, Coventry handstamp.
