Source: Evening Standard
Monty Python star Terry Jones has died at the age of 77, his agent has said.
The actor passed away on 21 January with his wife Anna by his side, his family confirmed.
In 2016, Jones' representatives announced he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia leaving him unable to give interviews as the disorder began to affect his ability to communicate.
Jones was also a prolific childrens author and well-respected medieval historian and in 2016 was awarded a Lifetime Achievement award from BAFTA Cymru for his outstanding contribution to TV and film.

I bought one of his children's books way back in the 80's. My children did not appreciate it. I did but it was a little much for them. lol
RIP Mr. Jones and thank you for a lifetime of laughs.

EDIT, no it was not that book
