Three Men in a Boat, written by Jerome Klapka Jerome, is a classic comedy novel about a boating journey from Kingston to Oxford on the river Thames. This journey was taken by three men, Jerome, Harris, George, and a dog called Montmorency, to escape from work-related stress due to overwork. During the eventful journey, the three men experience various adventures. The author had initially planned to write a travelogue with some comic elements thrown in here and there. However, the novel is known for its comic overtone. This book, regarded as a classic by the critics, has been translated into many languages. It has also been adapted into movies, plays, radio, and stage shows over the years.
