0/5 ( ratings)

Contains three short works: The Philosopher's Joke , The Soul of Nicholas Snyders; or, The Miser of Zandam and Passing of the Third Floor Back . Jerome Klapka Jerome was an English author, best known for the humourous travelogue Three Men in a Boat . 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.
