Jerome K. Jerome
Three Men in a Boat: To Say Nothing of the Dog
eBook
( Aug. 13, 2018)
The three men are based on Jerome himself (the narrator Jerome K. Jerome) and two real-life friends, George Wingrave (who would become a senior manager at Barclays Bank ) and Carl Hentschel (the founder of a London printing business, called Harris in the book), with whom Jerome often took boating trips. The dog, Montmorency, is entirely fictional [2] but, "as Jerome admits, developed out of that area of inner consciousness which, in all Englishmen, contains an element of the dog". [3] The trip is a typical boating holiday of the time in a Thames camping skiff . [Note 2] This was just after commercial boat traffic on the Upper Thames had died out, replaced by the 1880s craze for boating as a leisure activity. [ citation needed ]
Following the overwhelming success of Three Men in a Boat , Jerome later published a sequel, about a cycling tour in Germany, titled Three Men on the Bummel (also known as Three Men on Wheels , 1900).
