Made from the paper of the mightiest tree in a forest and cut to size with a herring, this Little Guide to Monty Python may be only-ever-so slightly bigger than one of Mr Creosote's wafer-sized mints, but it's packed with enough preposterous comedy power to keep Pythonites stuffed with laughter until breakfast.

Monty Python, of course, do not require an introduction. Python are the UK's original legends of comedy; as influential as they are innovative, as incomparable as they are intelligent. For sixty years, their unique brand of ensemble silliness has travelled the world as much as Michael Palin's toothbrush, their legacy growing with each generation.

This tiny tome can barely contain the 185 or so classic quotes, one-liners, character flaws, and jokes that made the troupe so famous, all revealed in the profoundly preposterous wit, wisdom, and words of the Pythons themselves.

All together now... "Always look on the bright side of life..."

'I always wanted to be an explorer, but it seemed I was doomed to be nothing more than a very silly person.' Michael Palin
