Jerome Klapka Jerome (2 May 1859 – 14 June 1927) was an English writer, best known for Three Men in a Boat.
Three Men in a Boat was Jerome’s biggest success. He wrote the novel after taking his honeymoon on a small boat on the Thames. While he wrote for the rest of his life, he never was able to write anything else as popular as Three Men in a Boat.
