Publisher's Synopsis
Sketches in Lavender, Blue and Green is a collection of humorous and heartwarming stories written by Jerome K. Jerome. The book is divided into three parts, each one featuring sketches that are colored by a particular hue. The lavender section includes stories that are light and whimsical, while the blue section features more melancholic tales. The green section is a mix of both, with stories that are both funny and poignant.The stories in this book are set in the English countryside and feature a colorful cast of characters, including farmers, shopkeepers, and eccentric aristocrats. Many of the stories revolve around the theme of love and romance, with characters falling in and out of love in amusing and unexpected ways.Jerome's writing style is witty and charming, with a keen eye for detail and a gift for storytelling. His characters are quirky and memorable, and his descriptions of the English countryside are vivid and evocative.Overall, Sketches in Lavender, Blue and Green is a delightful collection of stories that will appeal to fans of classic English literature and anyone who enjoys a good laugh.The fault that most people will find with this story is that it is unconvincing. Its scheme is improbable, its atmosphere artificial. To confess that the thing really happened--not as I am about to set it down, for the pen of the professional writer cannot but adorn and embroider, even to the detriment of his material--is, I am well aware, only an aggravation of my offence, for the facts of life are the impossibilities of fiction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
