Three Men on the Bummel

In search of adventure and a change of scenery, three old friends set off on a cycling tour through Germany. With little skill, less preparation, and their trademark knack for calamity, they stumble from one misadventure to another. Misunderstandings, mechanical failures, and absurd encounters follow at every turn, all narrated with Jerome K. Jerome’s unmistakable wit and playful irony. A spirited companion to Three Men in a Boat [1889], Three Men on the Bummel [1900] captures the joyful chaos of travel. JEROME K. JEROME [1859–1927] was an English novelist and essayist who left his mark on literary history with Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), the novel about a hilarious boating holiday along the Thames.
