Three Men in a Boat is generally accepted as a work of humour due to the amusing anecdotes the three men relate during their trip up the Thames. However; author Jerome K. Jerome originally intended the book to be a travel guide for tourists participating in the then-popular activity of leisure boating. Though the book did serve as a useful travel guide—and; in fact; still does; as many of the inns and pubs named in the work are still open—the timeless humour of Jerome's writing and the extreme popularity of the book in Great Britain transformed it into an important piece of popular culture as well.
Jerome K Jerome
Jerome K. Jerome was an English writer best known for his humorous travel book Three Men in a Boat, inspired by a boating trip he took with friends on the Thames. Born in Walsall, England, Jerome faced poverty as a young man but found success with writing in his twenties. His other works include Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow and Three Men on the Bummel, a sequel to Three Men in a Boat. Despite continued writing, none matched his earlier success
