Description

|
|
|
It just so happens that young Michael Palin, on the verge of attaining superstardom with Monty Python's Flying Circus, began to keep a diary of his terribly exciting life, no doubt in anticipation of attaining superstardom. Well, he was spot-on the mark, as we all now know, and so his diary does rather a good job of giving Python fans a you-were-there view of it all. Palin recounts their world tours, staying at hotels recently trashed by Led Zeppelin; their battles over censorship; and how the loosely knit group quit television but reunited for some smashingly successful films. Oh yes, and fatherhood, fame, his friendship with George Harrison, and whatnot. "Michael Palin is not just one of Britain's foremost comedy actors, he also talks a lot. Yap, yap, yap he goes, all day long and through the night ... then, some nights, when everyone else has gone to bed, he goes home and writes up a diary."—John Cleese
