This month, we are setting sail with Three Men in a Boat by Jerome K. Jerome, a timeless comedic gem that showcases British wit long before the era of streaming specials. Published in 1889, the novel chronicles the escapades of three friends—J. (the narrator), George, and Harris—who, accompanied by the mischievous fox-terrier Montmorency, embark on a boating holiday along the River Thames to escape the stresses of their overworked lives.
What unfolds is a delightful series of misadventures: forgotten essentials, encounters with temperamental weather, and humorous reflections on the quirks of Victorian society.
With its enduring humor and relatable themes, Three Men in a Boat remains a beloved classic, proving that the challenges of travel and the bonds of friendship are truly timeless.
