Idle In Provence

Eric Idle is a comedian, actor, author and singer-songwriter who found immediate fame on television with the sketch-comedy show MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS. Following its success, the Pythons began making films that include MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL(1975), MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN (1979) and THE MEANING OF LIFE(1983). Eric also wrote the award-winning musical SPAMALOT. He splits his time between Los Angeles and Provence.

Those who write about Provence usually end up with a book as twee as lavender tied up with silk ribbons. Somehow Eric Idle manages to bring the beauty, wonder and rapturous essence of the region to life while being wildly, blissfully and divinely funny. He’d better watch out, anyone who reads this enchanting and hilarious book will want to beat a path straight to his door.
