This is Monty Python talking!

The completely official, uncensored story of Monty Python - in their own words! Monty Python, the ingenious British humor troupe, alone revolutionized sketch comedy and paved the way for offspring from Saturday Night Live to Austin Powers. In this book, founding members John Cleese, Eric Idle, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and Michael Palin fly readers behind the scenes. They talk without restraint about their lives and unforgettable masterpieces like The Spanish Inquisition, The Parrot Scene, The Life of Brian, The Walking Gallop (the inspiration for the successful Broadway Musical Spamalot), and countless other works and jokes. The book features rare interviews with friends and co-workers. "It's hard to imagine a more perfect group biography." - San Francisco Chronicle
