To Say Nothing of the Dog. 'Three Men in a Boat' was originally intended to be a serious travel guide, but when Jerome K Jerome sat down to write it he found that his sense of humour took over, and he produced one of the comic masterpieces of English literature. This new edition, copiously illustrated, both with sixty original line drawings by A Frederics and eighty contemporary photographs, is a beautiful hardback that will grace the bookshelf of any lover of this timeless classic.
