Description
Beginning in the early days of Monty Python’s fame, Eric Idle recounts how he acquired a crumbling stone refuge in Provence and gradually transformed it into a beloved home. Set against the sunlit landscapes of southern France, this memoir traces the evolution of both a place and its owner, offering lively glimpses of creative work, celebrity friendships, and life beyond the spotlight. Blending travel writing, backstage recollections, and sharp comic observation, Idle reflects on love, loss, friendship, artistic purpose, and the sustaining power of laughter. Warm, candid, and deeply entertaining, the book is a spirited love letter to Provence and to the unpredictable journey of a life well lived.
