JEROME K JEROME

Literary Classic Books. Author Biography

Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859 – 1927)

Born in Walsall, Jerome was raised in London by his lay preacher father, and mother. The family were impovished due to investments that had gone sour, within the mining industry. By the age of 13, his parents had forced him into work and he collected stray pieces of coal along the railway whilst employed by the London and North Western Railway.

In 1877, Jerome K Jerome tried his hand at acting until reaching his early twenties, and after achieving no success, tried his hand at journalism and short stories, again with no success. It wasn’t until 1885 that he had some success with a book “On the Stage – and Off”.

In 1888 he married Ettie, and their honeymoon was on the Thames, which influenced one of his most famous of writings – Three Men in a Boat which was a huge success. The book was followed up with Three Men on the Bummel, inspired by a spell in Germany, but this enjoyed only a minor success.

Jerome suffered from a stroke and hemorrhage of the brain in 1927.
