In this book 'I' and his friend 'B' go on a journey from London to Oberammergau in Germany to see the Passion Play there. Jerome tells of the trip and of some of the touristic sightseeing they do.

A follow-up to his enormously popular Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow, this collection of essays from Jerome continues his ruminations on a wide range of subjects, including the art of making up one’s mind, the disadvantage of not getting what one wants, the time wasted in looking before one leaps, and the minding of other people’s business.

Joan Allway arrives in London, hoping to become a journalist. She is an immediate success. Love follows, but circumstances induce Joan to leave for the trenches of World War I in France. An intriguing story, Jerome’s novel attempts to examine the question of “how are we to live, to rise above what happens to us, without love?”

The essays in Idle Thoughts (1886)—including “On Being Idle,” “On Being in Love, “On Being Hard Up,” “On Cats and Dogs,” “On Babies,” and more—established Jerome as a major humorist.
