The classic and timeless humorous story, Three Men in a Boat begins with the eponymous "three men" sitting around discussing the different needs in their lives. Our heroes conclude that they are indeed overworked and a holiday is in due order. Their brainstorming beared no fruit until they hit upon the idea of taking a boating holiday up the River Thames. Thus begins the famous journey whose lore has now spanned three centuries. But lest we never fail to mention their most trustworthy companion-their dog Montmorency!All the A. Frederics illustrations found in the original 1889 publication are included.
