<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Three men and a dog set out on a skiff down the Thames; what could be more idyllic? Almost anything, it turns out, as a boating holiday develops into a gauntlet of challenges.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>George, William, and J. agree on one thing: They're overworked and need a rest. A week on the "the rolling deep," they decide, may be just the thing! Off they go with Montmorency, a fox terrier, in joyful anticipation of long, lazy days during a glorious Victorian summer. What happens to these bungling bachelors on their two-week rowing excursion from Kingston-upon-Thames to Oxford and back provides fodder for one of the best-known classics of English humor. <br> Jerome's timeless comedy traces the trio's misadventures as they struggle with camping equipment and meal preparation, confront rampant hypochondria and unreliable weather, and contend with other disasters -- all of which trumpet simple truths that still resonate today. Originally published in 1889, it was ranked by <i>The Guardian</i> as No. 33 of The 100 Greatest Novels of All Time in 2003, and in 2009, <i>Esquire</i> placed it at No. 2 of The Funniest Books Ever.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Welsh humorist Jerome Klapka Jerome (1859-1927) attempted a variety of professions, from railway worker to actor to journalist before finding success with a comic memoir and collection of essays, <i> Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow</i>. His <i>Three Men in a Boat</i> sold more than a million copies in its first two decades, and it remains a classic of humor and travel writing.
