"Jerome K. Jerome's masterpiece of English humour was first published in 1889 and this annotated edition marks the centenary of that celebrated book. Although best remembered for its hilarious incidents and anecdotes, Jerome's story is also packed with detail and information concerning places visited, fads and fashions of the day, popular songs, shows and books. These contemporary allusions are annotated and explained by two modern-day humourists, Benny Green and Christopher Matthew.
