The Three men in a boat companion: the Thames of Jerome K. Jerome

First published in 1889 and never out of print, Jerome K Jerome's classic of humorous literature continues to delight new generations of readers.

The book follows three friends, Harris, George and Jerome himself, accompanied by the ever-mischievous (and actually fictitious) dog Montmorency, as they skull up the Thames from Kingston in Surrey as far as Oxford.

However, the book is far more than a travelogue.
