In Three Men in a Boat, Jerome K. Jerome delivers a charming and hilariously absurd account of a boating trip gone awry. When three friends—George, Harris, and the narrator—decide to take a relaxing journey down the River Thames, they set off with grand plans of leisure and adventure. What follows is a series of comically disastrous events that reveal just how little they know about boating, camping, or life in general. With plenty of misadventures, misunderstandings, and laugh-out-loud moments, the trio’s journey becomes a delightful satire on the absurdities of human nature.

In Three Men on the Bummel, Jerome K. Jerome returns with more witty misadventures in the lives of the lovable trio—George, Harris, and the narrator—this time setting out on a cycling tour through the German countryside. Expect the same delightful chaos as they trade in their boat for bicycles and embark on what was supposed to be a relaxing and picturesque journey.
