Three Men in a Boat (1889)

by Jerome K Jerome

INFORMATION ABOUT THIS AUTHOR IS AVAILABLE AT

A humorous account of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston upon Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel.
