Here, in their own words — and with rare backstage photographs never before published — is a look into that rare collective mind: the story of the Python's meeting, their collaboration, their clashes, their struggles to maintain artistic control over their work, and their efforts to expand themselves creatively — from television to films, books, recordings and stage shows.
