This early work by Jerome K. Jerome was originally published in the
early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new
introductory biography. 'Mrs. Korner Sins Her Mercies' is a work of
fiction by this humorous author. Jerome Klapka Jerome was born in
Walsall, England in 1859. Both his parents died while he was in his
early teens, and he was forced to quit school to support himself. In
1889, Jerome published his most successful and best-remembered work,
'Three Men in a Boat'. Featuring himself and two of his friends
encountering humorous situations while floating down the Thames in a
small boat, the book was an instant success, and has never been out of
print. In fact, its popularity was such that the number of registered
Thames boats went up fifty percent in the year following its
publication.
