Summary

If you've ever wondered what happened to the young fellow from Malta who bought his grandfather an altar…

And if you suspect that an eccentric landowner called Grey spent Christmas a very strange way but aren't sure precisely what that entailed…

Then a dip into Michael Palin's Sackful of Limericks will provide all the answers – and a lot of fun besides.
