Jerome Klapka Jerome was an English writer and humorist. His novel Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), published in 1889, remains one of the best-loved and most entertaining comic novels ever penned. There are four of them - George, Harris, the writer himself and that dog, Montmorency - all participants in a boating expedition on the Thames. The book was intended initially to be a serious travel guide, with accounts of local history of places along the route, but the humorous elements eventually took over and the jokes seem fresh and witty even today. Jerome`s characters proved to be so popular that he brought them back for an equally picaresque bicycle tour of Germany, an adventure recorded in Three Men on the Bummel.
