This book is a collection of humorous prose essays by Jerome C. Jerome, the most outstanding humorous novelist, essayist and playwright in modern Britain, who is world-renowned and has never stopped being published. It is a "spice" for readers who get tired of reading "One Hundred Best Books". When readers open this book, they will be immediately brought into a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Although this book is a "little trick" other than the novel script that the author values ​​most, it has been able to attract readers' attention for a long time because it contains the author's rich social and life experience, and it is a good article that the author has perfected his human feelings: it seems light and humorous, but it is thought-provoking. The topics he talked about were somewhat similar to those of the "great master" Bacon, but Jerome was very different from Bacon, who was more than 300 years older than him, both in terms of way of thinking and writing style. Jerome's essays were loose and humorous. This book is the most faithful and accurate translation among many translations that embodies the humorous style of the original work. In order to add to the humorous effect of the original work, Mr. Liu Zongzheng, a Chinese painter who has been engaged in comic book (comic) creation for a long time and has published many comic book (comic) works and albums, was specially invited to illustrate the book. Cartoons and humorous texts complement each other and are a perfect match.
