Book Synopsis

A comic masterpiece that has never been out of print since it was first published in 1889, Jerome K. Jerome''s Three Men in a Boat includes an introduction and notes by Jeremy Lewis in Penguin Classics.

Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a ''T''.

Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and, with its benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian ''clerking classes'', it hilariously captured the spirit of its age.
