Always look on the bright side of life : a sortabiography / Eric Idle.
Idle reflects on the meaning of his own life in a memoir that takes us on a journey from his childhood in an austere boarding school through his successful career in comedy, television, theater, and film. With anecdotes sprinkled throughout involving close friends and luminaries, he captures a time of tremendous creative output with equal parts hilarity and heart. The year 2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of The Pythons, and Idle is marking the occasion with this memoir full of behind-the-scenes stories from a high-flying life.
