Description
This is the story of how a tall, shy youth from Weston-super-Mare went on to become a self-confessed legend. Cleese describes his nerve-racking first public appearance at the age of eight and five-sixths, and his first experiences in the world of work as a teacher who knew nothing about the subjects he was expected to teach. He discusses his hamster-owning days at Cambridge and his first encounter with the man who would be his writing partner for over two decades, Graham Chapman. And so on to his dizzying ascent via scriptwriting for Peter Sellers, David Frost, Marty Feldman and others to the heights of Monty Python.
