“But who wants to be
foretold the weather? It is bad enough when it comes, without our having the
misery of knowing about it beforehand. Published in 1889, Three Men In A Boat
is the most widely acclaimed novel by English author Jerome K. Jerome. Jerome
wrote the novel after going on a boating trip along River Thames. Intended
initially to serve as a tour guide, the novel, however, was soon overtaken by
the comical elements and transformed into the humorous travelogue that is a
classic today. Three friends, J. (Jerome), Harris and George, are apparent
hypochondriacs in need of a vacation. A two-week long boating trip, they
feel, would be good for their health. Narrated by “J.”, an embodiment of
Jerome K. Jerome himself, the story chronicles in the form of ramblings and
digressions, the hilarious adventures and mishaps of the three friends. The
novel’s success led to a sequel, Three Men On The Bummel (1900) and was
adapted in several art-forms including film and theatre.”

About Author
JEROME
KLAPKA JEROME, born on 2 May 1859 in Caldmore, Wallsall, England, was a
famous English novelist, playwright and humorist. Before embarking on a
literary career, he had worked as a railway clerk, actor, high school teacher
and a journalist. In 1889, even though he became well known in the English
literary circle with his comic travelogue Three Men In A Boat, success did
not come easily to him. Jerome, however, continued to write short stories and
satirical essays that he sent to various magazines. Finally, he achieved mild
success with his memoir On The Stage And Off (1885) which consisted of comic
sketches of his experiences as an actor. This was followed by Idle Thoughts
Of An Idle Fellow (1886) initially published as a series of humorous essays
in Home Chimes the famous magazine to which Jerome contributed regularly
along with other authors like J.M. Barrie and E. Nesbit. Three Men In A Boat
and Idle Thoughts Of An Idle Fellow turned Jerome into one of the most
influential and celebrated English authors. Jerome K. Jerome also served as
an ambulance driver for the French army during World War I. He died at the
age of 68 on 14 June 1927 after suffering from a paralytic stroke and
cerebral haemorrhage. In memory of the author, a museum was opened in Walsall
in 1984, which subsequently closed in 28.
