When Jay, George, and Harris decided (ignoring the objections of Montmorency, the dog) to steal two weeks from their minimally exciting middle-class life in London to row up the Thames to Oxford, they had no idea what would follow: that their journey would be transformed, thanks to the pen of Jay (i.e., Jerome K. Jerome), into a gem of British humorous literature.
A travel guide that magnificently strays into comedy is Three Men in a Boat (not counting the dog). The four heroes manage to turn every incident of their grand excursion into an opportunity to undermine all the clichés of travel narratives, Victorian England, but primarily the propriety of the British way of life, through a self-mocking and funny narrative in every possible way – from slapstick comedy to the most subtle surrealism.
