    Jerome K. Jerome

    eBook (Library of Alexandria, Dec. 27, 2012)
    TO THE GENTLE READER; also TO THE GENTLE CRITIC. Once upon a time, I wrote a little story of a woman who was crushed to death by a python. A day or two after its publication, a friend stopped me in the street. “Charming little story of yours,” he said,” that about the woman and the snake; but it’s not as funny as some of your things!” The next week, a newspaper, referring to the tale, remarked, “We have heard the incident related before with infinitely greater humour.” With this—and many similar experiences—in mind, I wish distinctly to state that “John Ingerfield,” “The Woman of the Saeter,” and “Silhouettes,” are not intended to be amusing. The two other items— “Variety Patter,” and “The Lease of the Cross Keys”—I give over to the critics of the new humour to rend as they will; but “John Ingerfield,” “The Woman of the Saeter,” and “Silhouettes,” I repeat, I should be glad if they would judge from some other standpoint than that of humour, new or old

    Jerome K. Jerome

    Paperback (Serenity Publishers, LLC, March 5, 2010)
    Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859-1927) was an English author, best known for the humourous travelogue Three Men in a Boat (1889). In 1877, he decided to try his hand at acting, under the stage name Harold Crichton. He joined a repertory troupe who tried to produce plays on a shoestring budget, often drawing on the meager resources of the actors themselves to purchase costumes and props. He tried to become a journalist, writing essays, satires and short stories, but most of these were rejected. Over the next few years he was a school teacher, a packer, and a solicitor's clerk. Finally, in 1885, he had some success with On the Stage-and Off, a humourous book, the publication of which opened the door for more plays and essays.
