Three Men in a Boat




'I fell out of bed laughing at Three Men in a Boat' Guardian


'I fell out of bed laughing at Three Men in a Boat' Guardian
What could be more relaxing than a refreshing holiday on the river with your two best friends and faithful canine companion, Montmorency? However, as J. discovers, there is more to life on the waves than meets the eye - including navigational challenges, culinary disasters, and heroic battles with swans, kettles and tins of pineapple. Jerome K. Jerome's delightful novel has kept readers smiling for years and his prose has found a perfect partner in Vic Reeves's glorious and witty illustrations.

About the authors

Praise for Three Men in a Boat

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

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

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

Brought laughter to a country in the throes of Victorian gloom

The Times

Go on a journey without leaving your chair.

Harper’s Bazaar

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

One of the 'classics' of English humorous literature

Contemporary Review

One of the funniest books I've ever read. I laughed out loud and that doesn't happen often

Vic Reeves, Daily Express

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
