Synopsis
Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel.
Reviews
On Sep 4 2019, a reader said:
Laugh out loud hysterical! Every other line is hilarious! I made the mistake of reading this in public not realizing how funny it is! My advice is not to do that! You will not be able to stop the guffaws, snickers, chuckles from bursting forth. Mr. Jerome certainly knew how to write a witty and fantastic story. I'm happy that I found this masterpiece.

About LeithaLit
I'm a one man operation, offering up for sale the unique tomes I've collected and acquired over the years. My special areas of interest are 20th and 21st century popular culture. I pick up a lot of books on popular music, film, art, and culture in general. Because I'm based in the Southwest I also find a lot of books on the history and mythology of the region. I also am interested in science fiction and crime books, mainly from the 60s and 70s. That being said, I'll venture into diverse genres if I think the book is unique some sense. I mainly sell books that seem to be under-represented in the marketplace.
