THREE MEN IN A BOAT Folio Society 1964 Jerome K Jerome Slipcase Illustrated VGC
Item History & Price
"THREE MEN IN A BOAT (TO SAY NOTHING OF THE DOG) by Jerome K Jerome, illustrated by Ian Ribbons. Published by the Folio Society in 1964 - first FS printing. Hardback book in a slipcase.
Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, is a humorous account by English writer Jerome K Jerome of a two-week boating holiday on the Thames from Kingston-upon-Thames to Oxford and back to Kingston. The book was initially intended to be a serious travel gui...de, 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 still seem fresh and witty.
CONDITION: This secondhand book is in very good condition - there are no names, dates, inscriptions, etc. The slipcase is also in very good condition. Please refer to the pictures.
SIZE (all approx): 23x14cm, 190 pages, 600g before packing.
