MONTY PYTHON SPEAKS! David Morgan SC 1999

For the first time--the complete and utter history of Monty Python's Flying Circus--in their own words. From the Dead Parrot sketch to the Holy Grail, from Spam to Conquistador Instant Leprosy, from the Judean People's Front to the People's Front of Judea, this is the story of the rise and rise of Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. David Morgan has interviewed the group and those around them--including Douglas Adams and Graham Chapman's partner DavidSherlock--to create the ultimate record of Britain's most revolutionary and successful comedy act. Packed with rare and never-before-seen photographs, and told with all the group's customary wit and irreverence, this is the inside story of a comedy phenomenon.
