Jerome meant the book as a serious Thames guidebook, then let the jokes take over. Harris and George were drawn from his real friends Carl Hentschel and George Wingrave.
Feels like humor, friendship and adventure.
The short list of what a life actually needs, packed in one sentence.
Throw the lumber over, man! Let your boat of life be light, packed with only what you need—a homely home and simple pleasures, one or two friends, worth the name, someone to love and someone to love you, a cat, a dog, and a pipe or two, enough to eat and enough to wear, and a little more than enough to drink; for thirst is a dangerous thing. Jerome K. Jerome, 1889
