After Supper Ghost Stories 19xx.xx.xx By Jerome K Jerome

There are hundreds of Sherlock Holmes stories written by other authors, but only a handful are in the public domain. This one was written by Jules Castier wile in a German prison during WWI and published in 1920. The story was a part of a collection of pastiches Castier wrote mimicking famous authors of the time- and the publisher wrote to each author asking for a foreword- many responded. The book is rare- it is titled 'Rather Like....Some Endeavors to Assume the Mantle of the Great . In this podcast I ask anyone who gets the book to let us know which authors wrote forewards and to share a few with us- my email: 1001storiespodcast@gmail.com.  Authors parodied are : F. Anstey, Arnold Bennett, Hall Caine, G. K. Chesterton, Joseph Conrad, Marie Corelli, Arthur Conan Doyle, John Galsworthy, Charles Garvice, Sir H.

After Supper Ghost Stories 19xx.xx.xx By Jerome K Jerome

The Man of Science by Jerome K. Jerome  tells the story of a scientist who believes a skeleton recently bought is that of his old enemy and is haunting him. So turn the lights low, sit back, relax, and get ready to enjoy this creepy tale.  

Welcome to our delightful exploration of Jerome K. Jerome's timeless classic, "Three Men in a Boat." Today, we delve into the opening chapter, where we are introduced to our three protagonists – George, William Samuel Harris, and the narrator himself. Alongside them is the ever-sardonic Montmorency, a fox terrier with a mind of his own.In this chapter, we embark on a humorous journey through the hypochondriac minds of our three men. Each convinced they are victims of countless fatal maladies - an amusing consequence of their excessive reading of patent medicine advertisements and self-diagnosis. Their shared belief in their ill-health leads them to conclude that they are overworked and in desperate need of rest.Their proposed solution? A week on the rolling deep! However, as they debate the merits and demerits of a sea voyage versus a quiet retreat in an old-world spot far from the madding crowd, George suggests an alternative – a river trip. The idea is met with enthusiasm by all but Montmorency, who seems less than thrilled about this boating adventure.Jerome's narrative shines with his characteristic wit and humour as he takes us through their lively discussion and eventual decision. It's a delightful satire on human nature's tendency to imagine worst-case scenarios and then seek drastic solutions for problems that may not even exist.So sit back, relax and join us as we set sail on this hilarious journey with our three men (and one dog) in a boat. It promises to be an engaging ride filled with laughter, insights into human folly and beautiful descriptions of England's picturesque River Thames. Let's dive into Chapter 1!

It's our best books of 2022, one of our favourite episodes to record as by this point we've done all the hard work of reading, now it's time to sit back and consider which, of all the books we read in 2022, were our very favourites. That might be a new release or it might be a backlist gem. We've also got the books that got us through difficult moments, the books that made us laugh or cry, and the ones we recommended and gave to friends. As we're nothing if not critical we've got some books that didn't quite live up to our expectations before we finally crown our top three books of 2022.  As snow falls gently around the shed, the fairy lights twinkle, the mulled wine is warm, and we discuss our favourite reads of 2022 with regular special guest, journalist Phil Chaffee. Books mentioned are listed below, but if you want to be surprised look away now. Book recommendations for Best Books of 2022 Favourite new release: Laura loved TRUST by Herman Diaz, Phil's favourite (with also-rans The Marriage Portraitby Maggie O'Farrell and Love Marriage by Monica Ali) was THE SECRET LIVES OF CHURCH LADIES by Deesha Philyaw, while Kate loved SEVEN STEEPLES by Sara Baume (with honorable mentions Housebreaking by Colleen Hubbard and Briefly: A Delicious Life by Nell Stevens) Favourite backlist title: Phil picked THE BETROTHED by Alessandro Manzoni (with also-rans The Blackwater Lightship by Colm Toíbín, and Beware of Pity by Stefan Zweig). Kate loved The Homemaker by Dorothy Canfield-Fisher but her favourite was O CALEDONIA by Elspeth Barker. Laura went for WIVES AND DAUGHTERS by Elizabeth Gaskell. Favourite non-fiction reads: For Kate it was THE PALACE PAPERS, Tina Brown's engaging examination of the British royal family and our collective fascination with (or indifference) to them. Kate's also-rans were Fall by John Preston (did Robert Maxwell fall or was he pushed?), 4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman (if we did but have the time to discuss it) and Entangled Life by Merlin Sheldrake (book everyone says is great turns out to be great). Laura only reads non-fiction when her book club forces her too, but luckily she did end up reading CASTE by Isabel Wilkerson, a book that changed her view of the world within the first fifty pages. Phil loved Putin's People by Catherine Belton and Not One Inch by M.E. Sarotte, but his overall favourite was THE RED PRINCE by Timothy Snyder. Favourite Book Club reads. Top of the pile for Laura was MICHEL THE GIANT by Tété-Michel Kpomassie while Phil preferred EIGHT MONTHS ON GHAZZAH STREET by Hilary Mantel. Kate loved The Heart is a Lonely Hunterby Carson McCullers but her ultimate choice was LIGHT PERPETUAL by Francis Spufford Favourite comfort reads: For Phil it was EITHER/OR by Elif Batuman; he now only wants to read books narrated by her protagonist Selin. Laura escaped to a creepy Swiss hotel with THE SANATORIUM by Sarah Pearse while Kate sank into the arms of old friend E.M. Delafield with THE DIARY OF A PROVINCIAL LADY. A book that made us laugh or cry: For Kate it was A HEART THAT WORKS by Rob Delaney. Phil enjoyed THREE MEN IN A BOAT by Jerome K. Jerome (in audiobook form read by Hugh Laurie). Laura loved Small by Claire Lynch and The Sentence by Louise Erdrich, but her final choice was THE BREAD THE DEVIL KNEAD by Lisa Allen-Agostini A book we pressed on a friend: Runner-up for Phil was We Don't Know Ourselves by Fintan O'Toole but his favourite was THE FREE WORLD by Louis Menand. Laura's pick was THE SIXTEEN TREES OF THE SOMME by Lars Mytting Books we read that didn't quite live up to our expectations: THE ABSOLUTE BOOK by Elizabeth Knox promised much for Laura but ultimately didn't deliver. Phil really didn't get on with A LITTLE LIFE by Hanya Yanigahara (and has *really* thought about why) and for Kate LIBERATION DAY by George Saunders didn't quite meet the soaring heights of his other books. Overall Book of the Year: Laura's standout was THE TREES by Percival Everett. Kate loved After Sappho by Selby Wyn Schwartz and The Door by Magda Szabó but her overall favourite read was LONESOME DOVE by Larry McMurtry. Phil meanwhile loved the Elena Ferrante Neopolitan quartet, but his overall book of the year is, as mentioned earlier, THE FREE WORLD by Louis Menand. A few other books we mention in passing: Golden Hill by Francis Spufford The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon Babel by R. F. Kuang A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell The English Understand Wool by Helen DeWitt The Little Library Parties and The Little Library Christmas by Kate Young Find full shownotes and links to related podcast episodes at our website thebookclubreview.co.uk, where you'll also find a transcript and our comments forum.

Hey Scaredy Cats. Welcome back to the Haunted Library and our seven day countdown to Christmas. Each day, we'll be reading a spooky Christmas ghost story in the tradition of the Victorians.  In his 1891 anthology of Christmas ghost stories, titled Told After Supper, British writer Jerome K. Jerome wrote “Nothing satisfies us on Christmas Eve but to hear each other tell authentic anecdotes about specters.” Agreed, Mr. Jerome. So, let's not delay any longer as we read... THE SHADOW by E.

Told After Supper (Abridged) Join us as we raise a drink and celebrate the holiday season with some spooky fun! Part of celebrating Christmas in the Victorian Era often involved gathering around a fire to share ghost stories! The frigid temperatures and long nights that mark the Christmas season were once considered the best conditions to share grim tales.  To honor that tradition, we are going to bring you the abridged version of Told After Supper by Jerome K. Jerome published in 1891. This anthology of short tales is framed around a group sharing their short, and sometimes silly, spooky tales after having had their fill of food and drink (especially drink) on Christmas Eve night.

Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome audiobook. Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford. The book was intended initially to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history of places along the route, but the humorous elements eventually took over, to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages now seem like an unnecessary distraction to the essentially comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers. The jokes seem fresh and witty even today. The three men were based on Jerome himself and two real-life friends, George, and Harris. The dog, Montmorency, however, was entirely fictional, but, as Jerome had remarked, "had much of me in it." 

Confronted with the loss of his one true love, Hunter Brown heads to Paris to enlist support in his journey.

His ReflectionActs 11:26Some years ago I read a story entitled “The Passing Of The Third Floor Back” written by Jerome K. Jerome.  The story is centered in a poor class lodging house in London. It was a place of despair, loneliness, and lowly people.Within this house lived a lowly servant girl. She was ignorant and poor. She was willing to sell her body for a mere trinket.Into this lodging house moved a mysterious man who was different from the others. He was kind and considerate to all. Soothing words came from his lips. The servant girl practically worshipped the kind man.The day came for the man to move from the lodging house. As he was leaving the lowly servant girl slipped up behind him, touched him on the shoulder and asked, “Are you Him?”This is a fictitious story, but we should be such a reflection of Christ that people would ask this question of us!In Acts 11:26 we find these words…and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they [a] met with the church and taught considerable [b]numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.Why were these believers called Christians? Not because of heritage or family name. Not because of the culture. They were called Christians because they were basically “clones” of Jesus. (little Christs or chip off of the block) Basically, they had the same actions and attitudes of Jesus!!! May we live so today. May others see Jesus in us.

A tale is told among friends of a certain man of science who has a narrow escape from an old enemy. Some time later, however, events suggest that his enemy may not have yet given up the pursuit even from beyond the veil.

Mary reads The Oval Portrait by Edgar Allan Poe (1850). Though Poe did not write any stories specifically set around Christmas (that I could find - please send us the name if he did!), this semi-ghost story is in keeping with the relatively unintentional Christmas Eve ghost story theme we have going. I also chose it because I thought it might fit into the type of ghost story Jerome K. Jerome had so much fun satirizing in Told After Supper.    Read along here.
