While they are discussing the possible illnesses they may have, Jerome, Harris, and George all realize they suffer from the same thing-working too much. Upon the realization, the three best friends decide that they must go on a vacation. After rejecting the ideas of a sea trip or country stay, because Jerome doesn't like the sea, and Harris finds the country to be dull, the men decide on a boat trip.
With their bags packed and with the company of Jerome's dog, Montmorency, the friends set off on a boat traveling along the Thames River. They pass notable landmarks and muse about them, questioning their importance, appearance, and origins. Memories are recalled and shared with embellishments.
The three men enjoy each other's company until the vacation takes turns that they could never expect. With unpredictable weather, comedic pitfalls, and wild humor, no outcome is impossible on this chaotic vacation. Facing their own shortcomings, flaws, and the uncontrollable weather, Jerome, Harris, and George must work together to remain in good spirits and find the silver linings so they can still enjoy their vacation.
Jerome K Jerome is best known for his hilarious book "Three Men in
a Boat" charting the misadventures of the author and his friends on
a boating trip up the Thames. The book started off as a serious
Travel Book, but morphed into a very funny book and a social
commentary. The success of this book caused the author to write a
sequel "Three Men on the Bummel," the same character choose this
time to take a cycling trip in Germany. "Idle Thoughts of an Idle
Fellow" is another humorous book, but this time peppered with
philosophical truths. As is its sequel "Second Thoughts of an Idle
Fellow." "Told after Supper" is a series of humorous Ghost Stories.
"Diary of a Pilgrimage" is another funny travel book - a journey to
see the famous Passion Play at Oberammergau, again very witty and
deserves to be read along with Jerome's more famous book. The
"Philosopher's Joke" is a short story involving six friends who
meet an old philosopher. For a joke, or perhaps a dream, they start
a strange journey into their past. Will they take hold of this
opportunity and reap the benefits? "All Roads lead to Calvary" is a
very different book. Set at the beginning of World War I it charts
the progress of a number of professional women who make their way
through life without the support of men. Jerome reveals his
theology in this book, a theology of the cross: as God in Christ
suffered, so all self-giving leads to God. In addition, God is not
to be thought of as a great king but as a fellow-worker and his
purposes are worked out in the everyday struggles of life.
"Sketches in Lavender, Blue and Green" is an excellent and
sometimes amusing short story collection. It includes "Reginald
Blake, Financier and Cad," "An item of Fashionable Intelligence,"
"Blas Billy," "The Choice of Cyril Harjohn," "The Materialisation
of Charles and Mivanway," "Portrait of a Lady," "The Man Who Would
Manage," "The Man Who Lived For Others," "A Man of Habit," "The
Absent-minded Man," "A Charming Woman," "Whibley's Spirit," "The
Man Who Went Wrong," "The Hobby Rider," "The Man Who Did Not
Believe In Luck," "Dick Dunkerman's Cat," "The Minor Poet's Story,"
"The Degeneration of Thomas Henry," "The City of The Sea," and
"Driftwood."
