Three Men in a Boat
Overview & Summary
Three friends (and a dog) set out on a leisurely boating holiday down the Thames River, intending a relaxing escape from city life, but instead encounter one comic mishap after another. Jerome K. Jerome's 1889 novel, originally conceived as a serious travel guide before comedy took over, remains one of the most enduringly funny works of English humor writing.
