Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog)

One of the best-loved and most entertaining comic novels ever penned, Three Men in a Boat has been a classic since it was first published in 1889. J., George, and Harris (not forgetting Montmorency, the mischievous, irascible fox terrier)—our young heroes—take a boating holiday along the Thames. Their aim is to escape the weary work-a-day world and improve their health, but they are ill prepared for the various escapades, difficulties and vicissitudes that they encounter along the watery way. The adventures of these incompetent innocents abroad are magnified to epic proportions by the storyteller, J., whose narration gives the book not only a wonderful endearing freshness but also a series of hilarious moments of timeless comedy.
