Jerome K Jerome is best known for his hilarious book Three Men in a Boat charting the misadventures of the author and his friends on a boating trip up the Thames. The book started off as a serious Travel Book but morphed into a very funny book and a social commentary. The success of this book caused the author to write a sequel Three Men on the Bummel the same character choose this time to take a cycling trip in Germany. Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is another humorous book but this time peppered with philosophical truths. As is its sequel Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow. Told after Supper is a series of humorous Ghost Stories. Diary of a Pilgrimage is another funny travel book - a journey to see the famous Passion Play at Oberammergau again very witty and deserves to be read along with Jeromes more famous book. The Philosophers Joke is a short story involving six friends who meet an old philosopher. For a joke or perhaps a dream they start a strange journey into their past. Will they take hold of this opportunity and reap the benefits? All Roads lead to Calvary is a very different book. Set at the beginning of World War I it charts the progress of a number of professional women who make their way through life without the support of men. Jerome reveals his theology in this book a theology of the cross: as God in Christ suffered so all self-giving leads to God. In addition God is not to be thought of as a great king but as a fellow-worker and his purposes are worked out in the everyday struggles of life.
