Python, actor, director, popular historian, national treasure, purveyor of sincere silliness - this is the story of the one and only Terry Jones.

In an intimate portrait penned by the close friend Terry chose to write his story, Staggeringly Silly is the story of one our greatest comedy legends. Taking in his greatest successes as well as his personal battles, it is the whole story, from his start as a war baby in the picturesque coastal town of Colwyn Bay, to meeting his lifelong friend Michael Palin at Oxford and the journey that took him on a convoluted pathway through revue sketches, BBC television, anarchic children's shows, Monty Python and beyond. It reveals the fiery debates and creative genius of the pythons, as well as Terry's extraordinary determination and resilience - even in his final years as he battled with the dementia that inevitably stole him from the world.

Written by his close friend and with the blessing and cooperation of his widow, family and the peers who knew him best, Staggeringly Silly is the definitive celebration of a true pioneer of comedy, as well a personal and loving portrait of the man behind the greatness.
