The first volume of Michael Palin's acclaimed diaries, offering a candid, witty and fascinating first-hand account of the decade that saw Monty Python rise from an experimental television comedy to an international phenomenon.
The Python Years: Diaries 1969–1979 draws directly from the diaries Michael Palin kept throughout one of the most important periods of his life and career. Beginning as Monty Python's Flying Circus takes shape, the entries provide an unusually immediate view of the personalities, creative process and everyday experiences behind the legendary comedy group.
Palin records the development of the television series, stage performances and films including Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Life of Brian, alongside his friendships and working relationships with John Cleese, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam. Away from Python, the diaries also reveal the more personal side of Palin's life, balancing an increasingly successful career with family, friendships and the changing Britain of the 1970s.
Warm, observant and frequently very funny, the diaries offer both an intimate autobiography and a remarkable behind-the-scenes record of a defining era in British comedy.
This copy is the 2006 Weidenfeld & Nicolson hardcover edition and is Volume One of Michael Palin's published diaries.
