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
One of the 'classics' of English humorous literature
Contemporary Review
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
Go on a journey without leaving your chair.
Harper’s Bazaar
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
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
