Below the Fairy City: A Life of Jerome K. Jerome

September 30, 2012 By Catherine Pope

We are very pleased to announce publication of a major new biography of Jerome K. Jerome by Carolyn W. de la L. Oulton. Jerome K. Jerome (1859-1927) was the author of Three Men in a Boat, one of the best-loved books in the English language, but much of his prolific career has been left unexplored.  Over a period of forty years, Jerome was variously a humourist,  novelist, journalist, essayist and dramatist, leaving behind him a prodigious quantity of work, belying his famous quote “I like work. It fascinates me. I could sit and look at it for hours.”

Find out more about Below the Fairy City: A Life of Jerome K. Jerome or read the prologue.
