Jerome Jerome K. - Three Men In A Boat And Three Men On The Bummel - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a T'. But when they set off they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow - ropes unreliable weather - forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks - not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.'s small fox - terrier Montmorency. Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and proved so popular that Jerome reunited his now older - but not necessarily wiser - heroes in Three Men on the Bummel for a picaresque bicycle tour of Germany. With their benign escapism authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late - Victorian 'clerking classes' both novels hilariously capture the spirit of their age.
