Three Men In A Boat

That's Harris all over -so ready to take the burden of everything himself, and put it on the backs of other people. Three late-Victorian gentlemen, George, Harris and the writer himself, as well as their fox terrier Montmorency, take a trip in a boat along the River Thames to Oxford. What ensues is a hilarious journey through the English waterways, full of anecdotes and farcical incidents, with Montmorency wreaking havoc along the way. As amusing and evocative now as when it was first published, Three Men in a Boat remains one of the most enduring comic novels of the Victorian era.
