Diary of a Pilgrimage - Softcover

Jerome Klapka Jerome, author and playwright, is undoubtedly best remembered for the comic masterpiece Three Men in a Boat, though his talents were many and varied. Born on 2 May 1859 in Walsall, Staffordshire, he wrote and travelled widely. In 1927 he was made a Freeman of  the Borough of Walsall before his death later that same year. He is buried in Ewelme in Oxfordshire.

"This is a sensible book. I want you to understand that. This is a book to improve your mind. In this book, I tell you all about Germany-at all events, all I know about Germany-and the Oberammergau Passion Play. I also tell you about other things. I do not tell you all I know about all these other things because I do not want to swamp you with knowledge. I wish to teach you gradually. I should only be defeating my own object that I, by making you think too much at first, give you a perhaps lasting dislike to the exercise."
