About this ebook
Tommy and Co. (1904) is a wonderfully charming Edwardian novel that holds a special place in Jerome K. Jerome's bibliography. Drawing heavily from Jerome's own real-world experiences editing magazines, this book offers a warm, satirical peek behind the curtain of London's legendary Fleet Street journalism scene.
When Peter Hope, a struggling hack journalist living in London, unexpectedly takes in a mysterious, fiercely independent orphan known simply as "Tommy". Tommy quickly becomes Peter's assistant and housekeeper. As Tommy grows up, she proves to be an incredibly sharp, resourceful media prodigy, even out-scooping the rest of Fleet Street!
Together, they launch a successful new weekly journal, and the story of Tommy and Co. meanders delightfully through the chaotic, colorful world of early 20th-century publishing, eccentric writers, and urban companionship.
