This early work by Jerome K. Jerome was originally published in 1893 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Novel Notes' is a novel by this humorous author of fiction and essays. Jerome Klapka Jerome was born in Walsall, England in 1859. Both his parents died while he was in his early teens, and he was forced to quit school to support himself. In 1889, Jerome published his most successful and best-remembered work, 'Three Men in a Boat'. Featuring himself and two of his friends encountering humorous situations while floating down the Thames in a small boat, the book was an instant success, and has never been out of print. In fact, its popularity was such that the number of registered Thames boats went up fifty percent in the year following its publication.

Novel Notes edition by Jerome K Jerome Reference eBooks Reviews
Jerome K Jerome was the author of Three Men in a Boat, published in 1889, never out of print to this day. It is one of the funniest books ever written. The follow-up, Three Men on a Bummel , has also enjoyed a big following. Aside from his essays and journalism he wrote many other lesser known books, including Novel Notes.
This was free to . The formatting is not quite right – the chapters do not start on a fresh page, for example - but no big deal. There are two uses of the N-word – should they be deleted?
A better title would have been “Four Men and a Book”. The narrator is joined by three friends on a houseboat in their belief that collectively they have a good novel in them, a position not shared by the narrator's wife, Ethelbertha. This group of chaps are entirely believable and likeable. I could imagine joining them and putting in my two pennorth.
Their efforts to get on with the task are diverted by endless stories, tall tales and reflections on life. There is a great deal about dreams, soldiers as unsuitable heroes, the selfishness of cats, and almost anything else that a group of chaps might have an opinion about. Some anecdotes are very funny – the astute observation on doll’s houses, for example.
Novel Notes is a treasure chest of the telling comment and witty aside There are more serious themes, too - the sadness of life, the emptiness of success. Does it all amount to a philosophy? Well, perhaps not to a philosopher, but to a chap smoking a pipe on a summer evening watching a cat pretend not to be chasing a bird while a dog eyes them up from a passing barge..
With so many tales about animals I thought about Aesop’s Fables. Perhaps less so than with Three Men in a Boat I also could see comparisons with Mark Twain - the Thames for the Mississippi. OK maybe not that good, but I intend to find out if Twain ever commented on Jerome and vice-versa.
Throughout he criticises books and their writers, but is even more scornful of critics. What I wonder would the author have made of and the torrent of novels that issue from graduates of creative writing courses, especially - !.
Wit that travels through the centuries and remains fresh
Very entertaining windows into the past.
Anyone who hasn't read Jerome K. Jerome is missing out on one of the most entertaining authors of the 19th century. His humor catches you unaware. And this book is a delight. Not as good as "Three Men in a Boat", but right up there. You have to try this book.
