A really superb book
Jerome K. Jerome’s Sketches of Lavender, Blue and Green is a vast collection of short fiction, diverse in themes and topics. Each infused with Jerome’s clever wit, this collection of short fiction caters to every mood. In The
Materialism of Charles and Mivanway, a paranormal misunderstanding brings a couple closer together. After a young, emotionally charged couple are separated by a shipwreck, each are presumed dead. Because of this, when
they run into each other at a romantic spot, the couple each think the other is a ghost. Filled with grief, they work out their differences and reconcile old fights as they schedule meetings; they may think their lover is dead, but that does not mean their love is. Depicting a different perspective of love, Blase Billy portrays a worldly, experienced man who is unimpressed with nearly everything, as he has lived through so much. However, when Billy starts to fall in love, he realises that he may not be as accomplished as he thought.
Accompanying touching love stories, The Man Who Lived for Others is a satirical tale of warning as it follows a man who will go out of his way to do exactly what others expect at the expense of his own happiness. Featuring
twenty exemplary works of short fiction, Sketches of Lavender, Blue and Green by Jerome K. Jerome explores themes of love, gender, class, marriage, and societal expectations with wit and charm. This range of topics
and themes are well-presented in pure satirical pieces, stories of romance, and even stories with supernatural misunderstandings. Filled with humour, sentiment, and reflection, Sketches of Lavender, Blue, and Green is a perfect collection of hilarious narratives, sure to delight modern audiences.
Jerome Klapka Jerome (2 May 1859 – 14 June 1927) was an English writer and humorist, best known for the comic travelogue Three Men in a Boat (1889). Other works include the essay collections Idle Thoughts of an
Idle Fellow (1886) and Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow; Three Men on the Bummel, a sequel to Three Men in a Boat; and several other novels. Jerome was born in Walsall, England, and, although he was able to attend grammar school, his family suffered from poverty at times, as did he as a young man trying to earn a living in various occupations. In his twenties, he was able to publish some work, and success followed. He married in 1888, and the honeymoon was spent on a boat on the Thames; he published Three Men in a Boat soon afterwards. He continued to write fiction, non-fiction and plays over the next few decades, though never with
the same level of success. He died in 1927 and his body was cremated.
