Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) is Jerome K. Jerome's enduring comic account of a boating holiday along the River Thames.
Narrated with deliberate understatement, the novel follows three friends-J., George, and Harris-who set out with a fox terrier named Montmorency for what is intended to be a restful journey from Kingston to Oxford. Their expedition quickly becomes a catalogue of mishaps, digressions, and comic reflection. Jerome blends gentle satire with affectionate observation, capturing the rhythms of late Victorian leisure and the absurdities of everyday life.
Though framed as a travel narrative, the book is less concerned with destination than with character. Anecdotes and historical asides interrupt the voyage, contributing to its episodic structure and conversational tone. Its humor remains accessible more than a century later, and the novel continues to be regarded as a classic of English comic writing.
This SMK Books edition presents the complete, unabridged 1889 text.
