Jerome K. Jerome’s comic masterpiece is based on the adventures of J, Harris and George, who decide a boating holiday would be just the thing to help them recover from overwork. Their famous journey up the Thames, from Kingston-upon-Thames to Oxford is thwarted variously by incompetence, recalcitrant tins of pineapple, and an irascible fox terrier called Montmorency.
Three Men in a Boat became an instant bestseller, and remains one of the most popular books in the English language.
This edition includes a new introduction by Carolyn W. de la L. Oulton, Jerome's most recent biographer.
