Summary "My First Book" by Various is a collection of autobiographical essays written in the late 19th century. The authors included in this anthology, such as Rudyard Kipling, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Jerome K. Jerome, share their experiences and reflections on the challenges and triumphs of their early writing careers. This compilation provides insights into the literary world of the time and highlights the perseverance required to succeed in literature. At the start of this collection, the reader is introduced to Jerome K. Jerome’s charming conversation with a young boy named Valentine in a park. Their discussion delves into Valentine’s aspirations to become an author, revealing his innocent love for storytelling and his sense of responsibility towards his mother. As they exchange their thoughts on literature, Valentine’s naive yet profound understanding of the calling serves to evoke nostalgia in Jerome, prompting him to reflect on the challenges faced by writers, the nature of good storytelling, and the importance of pursuing one’s passions amidst the trials experienced along the way.
