Three Men in a Boat is the hilarious story of three Victorian mens boating journey up the Thames River to Oxford, England–from the time they pack suitcases to their encounters with locals along the way. Set in London during the 1880s, the tale draws striking contrasts between the middle and upper classes, and is one of the greatest childrens stories of all time. The book is beautifully illustrated in color by well-known artist Paul Cox, and it is complete and unabridged.
