Jerome K. Jerome was an
English
writer
of the late
19th century
and early
20th century
. Born in
1859
, he published his first work in
1885
, "On Stage and Off", a collection of
humorous
sketches about the
theater
. In his lifetime he was also known as a
journalist
,
playwright
, and the founder of a
magazine
called "The Idler". Today he is chiefly remembered as a
humorist
. His most famous books include "The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow",
Three Men in a Boat
, and its sequel "Three Men on the Bummel." "Three Men in a Boat", written in
1888
, recounts the misadventures of three
middle-class
London
-types and one
dog
trying to have a
boating
vacation
on the
Thames
. The
sequel
, published in
1900
, reunites the group on a
bicycle
-
tour
of
Germany
. As bizarre as it sounds, his name is not a
pseudonym
. He died in
1927
. (Source:

The K in the real Jerome K. Jerome's name stands for
Klapka
; supposedly he was named after an exiled
Bulgaria
n general who was a friend of his father; this may, however, have been a
made-up story
