Sinopsis

When a sweeping, glamorous music-hall star secretly marries a high-society lord, she expects a life of luxury...until she meets the butler.

When Fanny, a popular stage actress, marries into the aristocracy and arrives at her husband’s grand country estate, she is ready to embrace her new role as a lady of leisure, but her world is instantly shattered when she discovers a terrifying secret.

The massive, highly disciplined household staff running the estate is entirely made up of her own eccentric, working-class relatives! Led by her fiercely proper uncle - who happens to be the head butler - the servants are determined to force Fanny to act like a "proper lady," using their knowledge of her humble past to hilariously blackmail her into submission behind closed doors.

Jerome K. Jerome serves up a riotous, sharp-witted "upstairs, downstairs" comedy of manners that brilliantly skewers British class snobbery and social pretension. Packed with rapid-fire dialogue, hilarious class friction, and wonderful theatrical flair, Fanny and the Servant Problem is a theatrical comedy masterpiece.

Reseña del editor

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.
