Three Men in a Boat
By Jerome K. JeromePublisher Description
First published in 1889, “Three Men in a Boat” by Jerome K. Jerome is the humorous story of three Englishman who find themselves in need of a vacation and decide to take a holiday boating on the Thames. The three friends, Jerome (referred to as “J”), George, and Harris, pile into a boat with food, clothes, and a fox terrier named Montmorency, and set off from London to see the English countryside. “Three Men in a Boat” is a first-class comic masterpiece, as the well-to-do upper-class gentlemen are beset by a series of comic mishaps, including unreliable weather forecasts, culinary challenges, and troublesome tow ropes. A commercial success and instant classic when published, “Three Men in a Boat” has been translated into numerous languages and continues to inspire fans to embark on a recreation of the trio’s iconic boating trip, where they discover very little has changed in over a hundred years. Jerome K. Jerome's masterful tale is a hilarious critique of the self-centered behavior of the English upper classes typical of Victorian England and still continues to entertain and delight audiences until today. This edition includes a biographical afterword.

“I'm certain I already wrote a review of this book but Goodreads ate it! Anyway, all I'm going to say is that it is hilarious if you like this sort of humour. It also adds to the experience if you read this on a boat in England.”
