Jerome, Jerome K.
Three Men in a Boat
It follows the author and his two companions as they try to escape busy Victorian London on a two-week boating holiday along the River Thames, from Kingston to Oxford and back.
Initially intended as a serious travel guide, the comical mishaps and misfortunes that happen along the way, turned the book into a satirical gem that perfectly captured the escapism of Victorian England.
From pineapple chunks to tow-ropes, tents, and the pointlessness of weather forecasts, Jerome K Jerome's witticisms and social commentary remain as funny and relevant today.
The novel has been adapted for TV and film on many occasions, including a recreation of the trip by the BBC, starring comedians Griff Rhys Jones, Dara Ó Briain, and Rory McGrath.
