But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather-forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks - not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.'s small fox-terrier Montmorency. Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and proved so popular that Jerome reunited his now older - but not necessarily wiser - heroes in Three Men on the Bummel, for a picaresque bicycle tour of Germany. With their benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian 'clerking classes', both novels hilariously capture the spirit of their age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jerome, Jerome K.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52266608033976,"sku":"9780140437508","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9780140437508.jpg?v=1762870781","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780140437508","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
