About the authors
Having made it to number two in Esquire's funniest books list, Jerome K Jerome's comic tale of boat-bound idlers is reissued this month, with 30 charming illustrations by a certain Vic Reeves
Esquire
Wonderfully fresh and funny, and among examples of Victorian humour I would place it high in the pantheon, right up there with The Importance of Being Earnest and The Diary of a Nobody...Jerome's writing...triumphantly stands the test of time, with its comic flights of exaggeration, its occasional archness, and its entirely innocent hint of the camp
Daily Telegraph
A charming comedy of friendship and human nature
Independent
One of the funniest books I've ever read. I laughed out loud and that doesn't happen often
Vic Reeves, Daily Express
Brought laughter to a country in the throes of Victorian gloom
The Times
As well as being very funny, it captures the innocence of a time before adventure became synonymous with bungee jumping into ravines in faraway places
Observer
A lovely jacketed hardback... Reeves captures absolutely Jerome's droll, gentle and thoroughly English sense of the absurd... perfect alfresco spring reading.
Claire Allfrey, Metro
Go on a journey without leaving your chair.
Harper’s Bazaar
Reading it is like spending time with a favourite uncle whose anecdotes you'd happily listen to over and over again because...it makes you laugh
Alice Fisher, The Observer
One of the 'classics' of English humorous literature
Contemporary Review
