Competition: Royal Mail Mint Stamps Thomas the Tank Engine

I was surprised to hear that it's a hundred years since the creator of Thomas the Tank Engine™ was born.  To celebrate the Reverend Awdry's centenary the Royal Mail Mint have created a special issue that is sure to appeal to fans of the popular series. I love stamp collecting so I was really pleased to get a set for my kids, I still have my Gibbons stamp collecting album from when I was a kid and I think it's a great hobby to encourage. Not least because it helps with geography...

The stamps feature the engines as they as they appear on TV and in the original book illustrations. One thing, I know for sure is that they will be very collectible and if you have a little Thomas fan in your household you really must do your best to get your hands on a set.

I have five presentation packs to give away to readers;

Written by Christopher Awdry and delightfully illustrated, the pack also contains the Special Stamps and Miniature Sheet.
