Three Men in a Boat remains one of the best-loved and most
entertaining comic novels. Part of the Macmillan Collector's
Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics
with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books
make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition
features illustrations by A. Frederics and an afterword by David
Stuart Davies. Join our young heroes J., George and Harris (not
forgetting Montmorency, the mischievous, irascible fox terrier) as
they take a boating holiday along the Thames. Their aim is to
escape the weary workaday world and improve their health, but they
are ill prepared for the various escapades, difficulties and
vicissitudes that they encounter along the watery way. The
adventures of these incompetent innocents abroad are magnified to
epic proportions by the storyteller, J. His narration gives the
book not only a wonderful endearing freshness but also a series of
hilarious moments of timeless comedy.
'Three Men in a Boat' relates the adventures and mishaps of three
late-Victorian gentlemen and a dog on holiday on the Thames. With
its picaresque digressions and asides, Jerome depicts the group's
attempts to keep themselves afloat and cope with the English
weather.
An unabridged edition to include original illustrations by A.
Frederics
