Jerome K. Jerome
Jerome Klapka Jerome (May 2, 1859 — June 14, 1927) is known for many popular books and a writing style that includes humor. Born in England and having received education in a poor family, Jerome was highly inspired by his sister’s love for theatre.
That's where his journey through various occupations began. From an actor to a journalist to even a teacher, he finally received recognition in the field of writing with “On the Stage and Off.” His major influence for the book “Three Men in a Boat” comes from his honeymoon, which actually took place on the river Thames in a little boat.
