They And I is a humorous novel by Jerome K. Jerome, published in 1909. The story is narrated by a middle-aged man who lives with his elderly mother and two sisters. The narrator is a bit of a misfit in his family, as he is not interested in the same things as they are and often feels left out. He spends most of his time reading and daydreaming, which his family sees as a waste of time.The novel follows the narrator's attempts to fit in with his family and find his place in the world. He tries to be more like his sisters, who are both active in the local community, but finds it difficult to keep up with their busy schedules. He also tries to impress his mother, who is very traditional and conservative, but often ends up making a fool of himself.As the story progresses, the narrator begins to realize that he is not the only one in his family who feels like an outsider. His sisters are also struggling to find their place in the world, and his mother is dealing with the loss of her husband. Together, they learn to support each other and accept each other's differences.They And I is a charming and witty novel that explores themes of family, identity, and belonging. Jerome K. Jerome's writing is both humorous and insightful, and the characters are well-drawn and relatable. The novel is a delightful read for anyone who has ever felt like they don't quite fit in with their family or society.I am a Republican in theory, but it grieved me that a son of mine could be drawn to such companionship. They contrived to keep it for a week--till the police found it one night, artfully hidden behind bushes. Logically, I do not see why stealing apples should be noble and stealing bicycles should be mean, but it struck me that way at the time. It was not the particular steal I had been hoping for.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
