Three Men in a Boat: To Say Nothing of the Dogby Jerome K. Jerome
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:"I had the general symptoms, the chief among them being a disinclination to work of any kind."
So begin the hilarious misadventures of a merry, but scandalously lazy band of well-to-do young men-and a plucky and rather world-weary fox terrier named Montmorency-on an idyllic cruise along the River Thames. Feeling seedy, muses one of them dreamily, "What we want is rest." What they find instead is one hapless catastrophe after another. Soggy weather, humiliating dunkings, the irritating behavior of small boats and the "contrariness of teakettles" are just a few of the barbarisms our genteel heroes are forced to endure. But which a delighted reader can only sing, Hooray!
First published in 1889, "Three Men in a Boat "was an instant success, and Jerome has been compared to comic master P.G. Wodehouse.
Synopsis:Three Men in a Boat is the comic expedition by middle-class Victorians up the Thames to Oxford, providing along the way brilliant snapshots of London's playground in the late 1800s. What Our Readers Are SayingAdd a comment for a chance to win!
