Product Description
Review
"I "highly recommend" Campfire's comics. They do what they are intended to do and do it in a way that excites kids about classic literature."

Product Description
'We agree that we are overworked, and need a rest - a week on the rolling deep? - George suggests the river -' And with the cooperation of several hampers of food and an open boat, the three men (not forgetting the dog) set out on a hilarious voyage of mishaps up the Thames. When his characters are not falling in the river and getting lost in Hampton Court maze, Jerome K. Jerome finds time to express his ideas on the world around - many of which have acquired a deeper fascination since the day at the end of the last century when this excursion was so lightly undertaken.

After reading this book, you would be shocked to find that it had been written so long ago. I'm not the most educated of people but this is one of the funniest books I have ever read. Everyday humour delivered in a timeless way. The characters are so realistic, with more than a passing resemblance to many people you know. You will wonder why everyone hasn't read this book. Funny, funny, funny. Thanks J.K.J.

Both funny and evocative, Three Men In A Boat is one of the most enjoyable reads around. It is rightly regarded as a comedy classic. I first read this book when I was a teenager, and since then I've always wanted to take a boat on the River Thames!

This book is probably the best of Jerome's works; it is the story of three young men and a dog who decide that they will take a rowing-boat up the river to Oxford from London. All the surroundings are well-described, owing to the fact that Jerome did that journey himself, in a very humorous fashion, and one can often sympathise with the predicaments into which the three intrepid explorers find themselves. An altogether good read, which can be made especially interesting if one knows the parts of the river being described, and it is interesting to compare with to-day, 110 years later.
