A Pocketful of Python Vol. 3 : Why Accountancy Is Not Boring, Stan's Right to Have Babies, What to Do on Meeting the Royal Family, Etc. Book

This new volume continues the series of pocket anthologies for which each of the Pythons makes a personal choice of favorite bits from the vast Python oeuvre. Michael Palin's selection contains classics of silliness that include "The Cheese Shop""Isn't It Awfully Nice to Have a Penis" and "The All-England Summarize Proust Competition" as well as some startling and less familiar gems.

In October 1969 the BBC broadcast the first programme in a new series: Monty Python's Flying Circus, written and conceived by Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin. Over the years the six of them followed this with another 44 extremely silly programmes, a German TV special, five full-length feature films, seven books, nine long-playing records and live stage shows that toured the UK and were seen in Canada and New York and at the Hollywood Bowl.

Michael Palin was born in Sheffield in 1943 and lives with his wife Helen in North London. He has a heated towel rail in the lavatory next to his room which doesn't work properly and it drives him mad.
