Three Men in a Boat (Pocket Classic)

Three friends decide a boating holiday on the Thames will cure their imagined ailments, and Jerome K. Jerome's comic novel follows the results. The trip upriver becomes an excuse for digression: packing disputes, weather, tinned food, history glimpsed from the water and a fox terrier with strong opinions. Comedy comes from small domestic failures handled with complete seriousness, and the Victorian setting has aged into an additional pleasure. This pocket-sized edition carries the complete original text in a format made for carrying about. How it reads: • The complete unabridged text in a compact pocket format • A river journey narrated with constant, well-timed digression • Montmorency the fox terrier as the fourth member of the party • Victorian English leisure observed with affectionate comedy Suited to readers of comic fiction, commuters wanting a small book and anyone meeting Jerome K. Jerome for the first time. Available at Boipoka.
