Below the Fairy City A Life of Jerome K. Jerome

Carolyn W. De La L. Oulton, Dr, Carolyn Oulton — 2012

The life of Jerome K. Jerome, (1859-1927) author of "Three Men in a Boat, " has been left unexplored. Oulton unearths hitherto unknown details of his early life in Walsall and follows his momentous move to the Fairy City of London, where a formative encounter with Charles Dickens influenced his choice of profession.
