This early work by Jerome K. Jerome was originally published in 1909 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Fanny and the Servant Problem is a drama in four acts. 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.

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent images but dated proseBy Roald EullerHans Memling was a Northern Renaissance artist active in Bruges during the 15th century. This is a large format book with excellent reproductions of most if not all his paintings. There are also representative works of many of his contemporaries ndash; van der Weyden; van Eyck; Dirk Bouts; etc.; presumably included for comparative purposes. However; if you are looking for contemporary text to accompany the illustrations; you wonrsquo;t get it here. The author ndash; Alfred Michiels ndash; was a French art historian and man of letters who lived in the 19th century. His prose (translated from French) is flowery and romantic in the extreme; and there is minimal relationship between the writing and the specific images appearing in this volume. There is nothing wrong with the writing per se ndash; just keep in mind that it is very much the product of an earlier era.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. beautiful book!!By Dita von KriegAbsolutley beautiful book. If you love Flemish paintings this is the book for you. I became a fan of Memlings after taking art history. I had to write a paper on one of his works at the Frick museum. An extraordinary talent. His religious paintings of Madonna and child and his portraits are my favorite. Beautifully bound book. Highly recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
