Tales of Three Men in a Boat
Chaos and laughter erupt as three intrepid gents escape wives and civilisation as we know it to recreate a modern, black-humoured version of Jerome K. Jerome’s “Three Men in a Boat”.
In over 200 swashbuckling tales of muddles, mishaps, breakdowns and derring-do, The Captain recounts their voyage aboard the Lorna II during the English summer of 2010. Aided and abetted by The First Mate and The Cabin Boy, it’s a rare character on their travels who emerges unscathed from their “wit” and boundless ability to give as good as they get. Discover the man with all the toys, the naughty-but-nice T-shirt, the curse of the peaked-hat brigade, a real-life Montmorency,the mystery of the pink panties, the good, the bad and several uglies: The Wives of Henry VIII and the secret life of the PORG. Enjoy the frustration of the crew as they are thrown out from not one, but TWO pubs in the same night while on a “crawl” for real ales (and plenty of them) and come unhinged when they appear to lose both their bikes and their vessel!
Politically incorrect at every opportunity, “Tales of Three Men in a Boat” nonetheless offers an abundance of buffoonery and historical detail about the River Thames, its pub life and the characters who’ve roamed its paths over the centuries (and still do!) The humour may be dark and tinged with sarcasm but, just like the author’s beloved Thames, it remains timeless.
You’ll want a copy in every bathroom, but please keep it away from the kids!
