THREE MEN IN A BOAT
This edition of Jerome K. Jerome’s “comic gem” about a boating holiday on the River Thames includes the original illustrations by Arthur Frederics.
“There are a few seriously funny books that remain great for all time. Three Men in a Boat is one of these.” (The Guardian, The 100 Best Novels.)
Since its publication, Three Men In A Boat has never been out of print.
It was ranked #33 in The 100 Greatest Novels of All Time (The Guardian).
It was ranked #2 in The 50 Funniest Books ever (Esquire).

“I did not intend to write a funny book, at first,” said its author. He intended to write a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humour took over and it sold in huge numbers.
