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'. But when they
set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes,
unreliable weather-forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks - not to mention the
devastation left in the wake of J.'s small fox-terrier Montmorency. Three Men in
a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and proved so popular
that Jerome reunited his now older - but not necessarily wiser - heroes in Three
Men on the Bummel, for a picaresque bicycle tour of Germany. With their benign
escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian
'clerking classes', both novels hilariously capture the spirit of their age.
