Three Men in A Boat: Three Men in A Boat is a classic of English humor novels. Since its first publication at the end of 19th century, people have loved this book. Three young gentlemen from London set on a trip on the Thames in a small boat with their dog. They are unsophisticated, passionate and conceited. They are kind of social misfits, and sometimes make fools of themselves, bringing plenty of joy to the readers. Its humorous language, light and simple tone, and a little bit exaggeration fully express the hallmark of English humor.
