Passing Of The Third Floor Back
“It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do”
Early Life and Career
Jerome K Jerome had an early life of poverty exacerbated by the death of his parents in his early teens helped to cruelly mould the young Jerome. After early stints on the railways, as an actor, a journalist, a school teacher, a writer and a solicitors clerk he had some minor success with a collection of comic memoirs “On The Stage – And Off” about his earlier stint as an actor.
Marriage and Inspiration
Shortly thereafter he married and his honeymoon on the Thames became the inspiration for Three Men In A Boat. This of course was a wild success both critically and commercially and also his creative highpoint.
Later Works and Legacy
Although he was now able to write full time he was never able to attain all the heights of that classic humorous novel. However he was prolific and this volume Passing On The Third Floor Back details an author in top form.
