Diary of a Pilgrimage

Written by Jerome K Jerome

Narrated by Philip Bird

Following the great success of Three Men in a Boat a friend of mine said, "Well now, why don't you write a sensible book? I should like to see you make people think." "Do you believe it can be done then?" I asked. "Well, try," he replied. Diary of a Pilgrimage is a story bubbling with Jerome's wit and whimsy interspersed with intervals of calm reflection. Written in 1891 it is the tale of a journey to see the Passion Play at Oberammergau. Many of his light hearted remarks prove to be acute observations of contemporary life, many of which hold true to this day. This is a wonderful piece of Jerome literature that fully deserves its place in the sun.

Jerome K Jerome

Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927) was an English writer who grew up in a poverty-stricken family. After multiple bad investments and the untimely deaths of both parents, the clan struggled to make ends meet. The young Jerome was forced to drop out of school and work to support himself. During his downtime, he enjoyed the theatre and joined a local repertory troupe. He branched out and began writing essays, satires and many short stories. One of his earliest successes was Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886) but his most famous work is Three Men in a Boat (1889).
