Jerome LeRoy Book order

Originally intended to be a serious travel guide, the humorous elements soon took over and Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) has been considered a classic masterpiece of British humor since its first publication in 1889.

Three men and a dog set out on a skiff down the Thames; what could be more idyllic? Almost anything, it turns out, as a boating holiday develops into a gauntlet of challenges.

Suitable for Adult Literacy and English-as-a second language students.

This volume stands as the only available critical edition of two of the most popular classics in English literature. Three Men in a Boat describes a comic expedition by middle-class Victorians up the Thames to Oxford, providing along the way brilliant snap-shots of London's playground in the late 1880s. In Three Men on the Bummel, the three Englishmen escape from the claustrophobia of suburban life some ten years later to go on a cycling tour in the Black Forest of Germany
