Three Men in a Boat : illustrated Abridged Children Classics English Novel with Review Questions (Illustrated Classics)

What began as a guide to the Thames turned into a comic account of three friends, one dog and a boating holiday that goes wrong in small ways. The book by Jerome K. Jerome is abridged and illustrated here, following George, Harris, the narrator and Montmorency the dog as they put up shoddy tents, brew worse tea and tell stories about everything they pass. The humour rests on ordinary mishaps rather than jokes, which is why it has lasted, and the shortened text makes the Victorian setting easy enough to follow. On the page: • A comic river journey told in abridged form • Montmorency the dog kept as a full member of the party • Review questions closing each chapter • A light entry point to Victorian English humour Suits readers of around ten and older who enjoy funny writing, and libraries wanting comedy alongside the adventure classics.
