"Three Men in a Boat" is a humorous account penned by Jerome K. Jerome and first published in 1889. The story chronicles the comedic misadventures of three friends - Jerome, George, and Harris - along with Montmorency, their spirited fox-terrier, as they embark on a boating holiday along the Thames River. What starts as a restorative leisure trip quickly becomes an uproarious journey filled with mishaps, misunderstandings, and memorable anecdotes. Through Jerome's witty narrative, the novel presents a delightful mix of absurdity and astute observations on human nature and the Victorian era's peculiarities.
