Now, which would you advise, dear? You see, with the red I shan't be able to wear my magenta hat. "Well then, why not have the grey?" "Yes-yes, I think the grey will be MORE useful." "It's a good material." "Yes, and it's a PRETTY grey

It is not a large house, I said. "We don't want a large house. Two spare bedrooms, and the little three-cornered place you see marked there on the plan, next to the bathroom, and which will just do for a bachelor, will be all we shall require-at all event

THERE were four of us - George, and William Samuel Harris, and myself, and Montmorency. We were sitting in my room, smoking, and talking about how bad we were - bad from a medical point of view I mean, of course. We were all feeling seedy, and we wer

"Why do the heroines in romances all have wide, low foreheads?"
Once introduced to this and a dozen other absurd and fascinating questions, we find ourselves dizzily plunged into a world long gone but well worth revisiting -- especially when our guide is Jerome K. Jerome.
Anyone who has gone boating with the rascally dog Montmorency in "Three Men in a Boat" will find generous helpings of Jerome's delightful insights into men, women, society, and even writing, in "Idle Ideas in 1905." His jovial rapier still stabs to the heart, over a century later.

Following his infallible nose for unlikely situations, Jerome K. Jerome sets himself a Herculean task, as main character in his own novel: to fictionally compose another novel, in collaboration with a trio of his pipe-party bachelor friends: Jephson, Brown, and MacShaughnassy.
Jerome, in what he presents as a semi-autobiographical account, turns the sordid business of novel-writing into a delightful parade of human foibles, providing an unending showcase of wit along the way. In the tradition of his "Three Men in a Boat," this might well have been entitled "Four Men in a Pickle."

Henry is -- what else? -- a waiter. And Kipper and Carrot? They are the ragamuffin pair who tumble into the coffee shop where Henry works, one sunny day in England. Kipper helps Carrot develop her stage talents . . . while Carrot gets high ideas and marries even higher to become the Marchioness of Appleford!
One of Jerome K. Jerome's highly entertaining observers of life, the waiter Henry meets all the interesting coffee-shop sorts: the man whose baby is shown in a Dog Show . . . the customer who is eaten by a cannibal . . . and of course Carrot, who discovers life as a Marchionesse is...

Three middle-aged men on an adventure have the potential for many humorous situations. Jerome K Jerome was born in 1859. He was an English humorist best known for his travelogue Three Men in a Boat.

After the success of Three Men in a Boat Jerome was able to write full time. In Three Men on the Bummel the three Englishmen from Three men on a Boat are back on another comic adventure ten years later. They want to escape the confines of suburban...
