Said a friend of mine to me some months ago: "Well now, why don't you write a sensible book? I should like to see you make people think." "Do you believe it can be done, then?" I asked. "Well, try," he replied.

"Three Men in a Boat" describes a comic expedition by middle-class Victorians up the Thames to Oxford, and "Three Men on the Bummel" records a similar escapade - a break from the claustrophobia of suburban life some ten years later, as they take a cycling tour in the Black Forest.

What could be better during the golden age of boating on the Thames than a relaxing row up the river? So think J., George and Harris – not forgetting Montmorency the dog – but little do they suspect the mishaps, the scrapes and the japes that lie along the winding way. From becoming impossibly lost in the maze at Hampton Court to battles with tins of pineapple chunks, all the while attempting to limit the destruction wrought by the mischievous Montmorency, Jerome K. Jerome's classic novel of humorous misadventures and comedic authorial digressions is a paean to the banalities of everyday life and has entertained readers for more than a century.
