J's Other Spots in the Shade (Links)

  • Jerome K. Jerome Birthplace Museum - The Jerome K. Jerome Birthplace Museum tells the story of the life and work of Jerome K. Jerome, the famous author, and includes a sitting room furnished in the style of the 1850s, when Jerome was born here.

  • Jerome K. Jerome Society - The society was formed in 1984 with the main object of stimulating interest in and public awareness of the life and works of Jerome K. Jerome.

  • Advanced Book Exchange - The best place on the web to get vintage, 1st edition, special binding, and signed literature. Most of Jerome's books can be found here.

  • Abacci Books - This website is an experimental combination of the e-texts at Project Gutenberg and user reviews from amazon.com. This allows folks to browse through the Project Gutenberg archives and read contemporary opinions of the work found there, which should prove to be a great tool for discovering interesting new books and authors.

  • The San Antonio College LitWeb Jerome K. Jerome Page - The Victorian literature section on San Antonio University's Literature website, features Jerome's major works. Many of these titles are linked to downloadable text for your private use.

  • Gaslight's eText: "Stageland" - This is the dedication that appears in the preface of this book - "To that highly respectable, but unnecessarily retiring individual, of whom we hear so much but see so little, "The Earnest Student of the Drama," This (comparatively) truthful little book is lovingly dedicated."

  • An Amusing Bit of Humor, "Clocks" - Readable on-line (no downloading necessary). Excerpt: "There are two kinds of clocks. There is the clock that is always wrong, and that knows it is wrong, and glories in it; and there is the clock that is always right--except when you rely upon it, and then it is more wrong than you would think a clock could be in a civilized country..."

  • Jerome K Jerome Quotations and Related Resources A nice compilation of Jerome quotes in alphabetical order by subject. Great site to quickly find a witty anecdote from a forgotten time.
