Three Men in a Boat

A humerous account of three men's boating holiday up the Thames that the author, Jerome K Jerome assures us is entirely factual, and definitely did happen as described. Even if the dog was somewhat more metaphorical than the other passengers. Especially George, who's realness is at least twice that of the other two, mostly around the middle. Initially intended as a serious travel guide but the humorous elements ended up taking over, transforming the book into a classic still praised for being fresh and witty to this day.
