The classic comic travelogue about an ill-fated boating holiday on the River Thames
Three Men in a Boatย is the irreverent tale of a group of friends who, along with a fox terrier named Montmorency, embark on a two-week boating journey up the Thames. Passing by famous landmarks on their way from Kingston to Oxford, the three gloriously underprepared travelersโGeorge, William, and J.โconfront the humor in everything from assembling a tent to fending off hostile swans. Originally conceived as a travel guide, the narrative instead evolved into a sharply witty tale replete with historical anecdotes, raucous digressions, and unforgettable misadventures.
As funny and relatable today as it was more than a century ago,ย Three Men in a Boatย was recently ranked by theย Guardianย as one of the twenty-five best novels of all time and byย Esquireย UK as one of the top twenty funniest books ever written.
