Three Men in a Boat
by Jerome K. Jerome
While the indiscriminate advancement of J. Harris, George, and Montmorency's dog immediately earned the approval of Londoners, readers around the world saw The Three Men in the Boat as the key to its English character. What began as an attempt to popularize the entertainment boat has become one of the biggest comedic twists and turns of Victorian literature – a timeless classic that can be read over and over again. "It's one of the happiest examples of how luck can turn buzz into pure pleasure."
