Join Katie for an online discussion of Jerome K. Jerome’s book Three Men in a Boat.

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.

The book is available at  https://libraryconnection.overdrive.com/ all you need is your Enfield Library card. Email Katie at kwerth@enfield.org for an invitation to our Zoom book discussion on May 13 at 2:30 pm. Let us know if you live in Enfield and need a library card we will get you one.
