About Monty Monty is a bear of inestimable worth and wisdom for the memories and stories of his life that he can tell. Born at the Ironbridge Works of the Coalbrookdale Company in Shropshire in the 1930s he is a Merrythought Bear through and through. From his rumbustious childhood, through his days of disability and darkness, his restoration and subsequent renaissance as a world-travelling jet-setter and party animal, he has always maintained his 'glass half full' approach to life with a twinkling eye and a soft growl. He truly has a 'Ginormous' heart.
