{"product_id":"9780141394459","title":"9780141394459","description":"Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a 'T'. 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.","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175600079088,"sku":"9780141394459","price":9.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141394459_p0.jpg?v=1763655687","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141394459","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
