About This Item
Ivory pictorial cloth, upper board blocked in gilt and red; gilt back. Pages clean and tight and bright. A very good copy in publisher's board slip-case with coloured title-vignette, numerous coloured illustrations (a number double- or full-page) in the text, and coloured endpaper maps.
With the co-operation of several hampers of food and a covered boat, the three men (not forgetting the dog) set out on a hilarious voyage of mishaps up the Thames. When not falling in the river and getting lost in Hampton Court Maze, Jerome K. Jerome finds time to express his ideas on the world around many of which have acquired a deeper fascination since the day at the end of the 19th century when this excursion was so lightly undertaken.
