Contains three short works: The Philosophers Joke 1909 , The Soul of Nicholas Snyders; or, The Miser of Zandam 1909 and Passing of the Third Floor Back 1907 . Jerome Klapka Jerome 1859-1927 was an English author, best known for the humourous travelogue Three Men in a Boat 1889 . 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 solicitors 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.
