{"product_id":"2940015098495","title":"Jerome K Jerome's Three Men and a Boat","description":"Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by Jerome K. Jerome of a boating holiday on the Thames between Kingston and Oxford. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel guide,with accounts of local history along the route, but the humorous elements took over to the point where the serious and somewhat sentimental passages seem a distraction to the comic novel. One of the most praised things about Three Men in a Boat is how undated it appears to modern readers — the jokes seem fresh and witty even today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJerome Klapka Jerome\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(2 May 1859 – 14 June 1927) was an English writer and humorist, best known for the comic travelogue Three Men in a Boat (1889).Other works include the essay collections Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow (1886) and Second Thoughts of an Idle Fellow; Three Men on the Bummel, a sequel to Three Men in a Boat; and several other novels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wikipedia.com","brand":"Castaway Family Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47121330536688,"sku":"2940015098495","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015098495_p0.jpg?v=1763619301","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015098495","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
