Description

Jerome’s witty essays wander through laziness, love, memory, and the absurd habits of ordinary life with sharp satire and unexpected warmth. Usable listening for anyone who likes humour that lands on a quiet truth about people and modern manners. Spoken as when idle thoughts still ask what an idle fellow notices when the day refuses to hurry.

Author

Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927) made English humour sound like a friend talking — ironic, lazy, and suddenly exact about human folly. Three Men in a Boat is his masterpiece: a mock-epic of river travel in which packing, weather, and wounded dignity become high adventure. Before and after it he wrote essays and sequels that celebrate idleness as a mild philosophy — Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow chief among them.
