TELL TALE
London: Macmillan, 2017. First Edition. Hardcover. Presentation copy, inscribed by Jeffrey Archer to his friend, Eric Idle, on the title page. Octavo. Original burgundy cloth binding, with silver-stamped titles. Light bumping to the tips; else fine in a fine dust jacket.
From the library of revered English actor, comedian, musician, and writer Eric Idle, accompanied by a letter of provenance. Idle (b.1943) is a founding member of the British comedy troupe Monty Python, as well as the parody rock group The Rutles, and is the writer of the music and lyrics for the hit Broadway musical Spamalot.
In a posting for his Eric Idle Online! blog concerning his December reading in 2017, Idle wrote: "Every year the surprisingly nice Jeffery sends me his latest, and last year he said sadly that I never read them. It’s not true. This year I had seen and bought this book of short stories before I even opened my mail. I enjoyed them very much. He is a real writer, not just an enormous world-wide best-selling author! That’ll teach me to be a book snob.”. Fine / Fine. Item #78846
