He happened to be an actor, a teacher, a packer, and a secretary ... Jerome’s first literary experiments were unsuccessful - the publishers invariably returned the manuscripts with his stories. In 1888, at the age of twenty -nine years, Jerome K. Jerom married and spent a honeymoon in Thames in a small boat. This life experience formed the basis of the humorous story Three in the boat, not counting the dog. The prototypes of the heroes were the writer"s friends. The story was printed in 1889 and brought the author the long -awaited success. In the first two decades after the first publication, more than a million copies of the book were sold in the world, and the number of boats on Thames doubled. After a trip to Germany, Jerome composed a continuation of the story “Three in a boat ...” - “Three on four wheels” (in other Russian translations “Three on Bicycles”, “Three Abroad”) - with the same heroes who have matured for ten years, which are matured by ten years.

The story, first published in 1890, was written with the same brightness and energy, although it did not overshadow the popularity of adventures on Thames. Jerome K. Jerome.
