Publisher Description
Three Men In A Boat ranks as one of the most amusing and agreeable books in the English language. Written soon after Jerome’s marriage, it bubbles over with the happiness he felt. Rather than recording one particular trip, the story combines many boating excursions which Jerome had made with his friends. The three men round on each other when things go wrong but nothing serious mars the essentially sunny, idyllic nature of the book. The beautiful countryside through which its heroes pass is poetically described.
Customer Reviews
Highly abridged reading
This is a highly abridged reading, not advertised as such. The plan seems to have been to cut it down, just to the incidents on the river. Admirers of J will know that the beauty of the work is the digressions. Here we find neither Herr Schollenboschen’s nor George’s comic songs. Hugh Laurie’s reading is excellent, but short.
