Overview

"Oh, you foolish wise folk, who would remodel human nature! Cannot you see how great is the work given unto childish hands? Think you that in well-ordered housekeeping and high-class conversation lies the whole making of a man?"

In this wickedly sharp collection of essays, the eminent wit and perennially popular Jerome K. Jerome muses on various subjects vital to successful living, among them "The Inadvisability of Following Advice" and "The Disadvantage of Not Getting What One Wants." With his characteristically charming anecdotal style, Jerome enlivens topics common to everyday life and expounds on profound considerations, all of which results in an infectiously buoyant philosophy.
