Description

J., George, Harris, and dog Montmorency take a Thames boating holiday that collapses into comic calamity, packing mishaps, and the absurdities of friendship on the water. Spoken as when three men still prove that rest is harder work than staying home.

Author

Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927) made English humour sound like a friend talking — ironic, lazy, and suddenly exact about human folly. Three Men in a Boat is his masterpiece: a mock-epic of river travel in which packing, weather, and wounded dignity become high adventure. Before and after it he wrote essays and sequels that celebrate idleness as a mild philosophy — Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow chief among them.
