‘Three Men in a Boat’, authored by Jerome K.Jerome and first published in 1889 is a humorous book, which has been published in many languages and millions of copies sold. I read the book by yesterday and today, while at Bangalore. I took it from the collection of books of my grand daughter Arya. I liked it very much. The journey in a boat through the River Thames by three young men, George, Harris and the author along with their dog Montmorency is hilarious and humorous to the maximum. The author’s description of the various villages, towns etc. on the sides of the Thames, the historical background of the places, the historic events connected with them are informative. And more than that laughing at oneself and others, explaining the thinking of the mind on various occasions etc. are really thought provoking.
It is a classic, most probably written for children. But adults can also read and enjoy. Of course, I enjoyed reading it. Probably most of the visitors of this blog might have read it already.Anyhow, the book is worth reading.
