A Pocketful of Python Volume 1
Terry Jones

Foreword by Terry Gilliam

A celebration of the silly and enduring genius of the Monty Python team. Each volume in the Pocketfuls series is picked by a different Python and includes their best visual and verbal gags

This new pocket series features 'the best of Monty Python': a collection of favourite sketches, gags, words, lyrics chosen by individual Pythons. In this first volume, Terry Jones - writer, actor and filmmaker - picks some of his prized bits from across the whole range of Python books, scripts and films. Included are such memorable moments as The French Taunt King Arthur, the Lumberjack Song, What Have the Romans Ever Done for Us?, The Court Martial of Sapper Walters, Every Sperm is Sacred, the Man Who Talks Entirely in Anagrams and other priceless pieces of Python humour. Included with these words are some two dozen images that have become identified with Python over three decades.
