So popular did it prove that Jerome reunited his heroes for a bicycle tour of Germany. Despite some sharp, and with hindsight, prophetic observations of the country, Three Men on the Bummel describes an equally picaresque journey constrained only ‘by the necessity of getting back within a given time to the point from which one started’.

Author
Jerome K. Jerome
JEROME K. JEROME, born in 1859 in England, was a novelist and playwright whose humour won him a wide readership. Working first as a railway clerk, then as a school teacher, an actor, and a journalist, he wrote his first book On the Stage—and Off in 1885. His next books, The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow and Three Men in a Boat were his great successes, however. He was also co-editor of a monthly magazine that he helped found called The Idler. His many other works include Three Men on the Bummel, Paul Kelver, and My Life and Times, along with a number of plays. He died in 1927.
