Three Man in a Boat
Jerome K. Jerome
Three Men in a Boat was originally meant to be a serious piece of travel writing, full of local flavors, legends and folklore about England’s mighty river. As it turned out, somewhere along the way, the author Jerome found himself catapulted into a madcap adventure. The plot is relatively simple. It describes three friends, namely, the author himself, Jerome, George Wingrave and Harris, who set out with their dog on a boat trip and encounter a series of amusing, poignant and strange happenings along the river. Win- grave and Harris (Carl Hentschel in real life) are both friends with whom Jerome often took trips on boats. The dog Montmorency however, is fictional!
“Three Men in a Boat, timeless classic, is the book I’ve read more times than any other. It is one of the comic gems in the English language. An ac- cidental one, too. “I did not intend to write a funny book, at first,” said it’s
author.” George Japaridze
“This was such a funny book. The humor from so long ago still is relevant and entertaining in today’s age.” Amazon reader
