Three friends, one dog, one boat, one river. What could go wrong? Plenty.
Even when the sailing is smooth, the stories never stop in Jerome K. Jerome's comic novel. Plaster fishes, dead water rats, near death escapes and many, many jocose anecdotes create a colorful narrative of holiday life on the river. For, once three hypochondriacs self-diagnose themselves as "clearly overworked", the rest practically writes itself!
