Three Men In A Boat (Folio Society Edition) Jerome K. Jerome

Convinced that they are suffering from “overwork,” three hypochondriac friends—J., George, and Harris—along with the fox terrier Montmorency, decide a two-week boating holiday up the River Thames is the only cure. What ensues is a riotous comic masterpiece detailing their farcical misadventures: disastrous attempts at camping, struggles with food, run-ins with swans, and a host of hilariously winding anecdotal digressions on life and leisure. This classic novel perfectly blends witty observation with an enduringly funny depiction of human folly on a quintessential Victorian excursion.
