When J. the narrator, George, Harris and Montmorency the dog set off on their hilarious misadventures, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather-forecasts, imaginary illnesses, butter pats and tins of pineapple chunks. Denounced as vulgar by the literary establishment, Three Men in a Boat nevertheless caught the spirit of the times. The expansion of education and the increase in office workers created a new mass readership, and Jerome's book was especially popular among the 'clerking classes' who longed to be 'free from that fretful haste, that vehement striving, that is every day becoming more and more the bane of nineteenth-century life.'

So popular did it prove that Jerome reunited his heroes for a bicycle tour of Germany. Despite some sharp, and with hindsight, prophetic observations of the country, Three Men on the Bummel describes an equally picaresque journey constrained only 'by the necessity of getting back within a given time to the point from which one started'.

Awesome Anniversary Gift
I got this for my husband for our 25th silver anniversary because it is partly silver. I think it is a beautiful watch especially for the price. I think he can wear it for everyday at work and not worry about breaking it or losing it and still look classy.

Unique Couple Watch Set
It's a well-made pair of watches, perfect for you and a partner or as a gift for your friends! It comes in a presentable little box that closes magnetically with a heart-shaped white clasp, contrasting the red box, allowing for a highly giftable gift with little effort required when it comes to packaging. The watches themselves are stunning, with extreme attention to detail everywhere you look, whether it's beveled edges or even a crown emblem on the watch's crown. The crystal of the watches takes a unique approach and stylistically protrudes from the watch face, resembling a toned-down pavilion and culet of a diamond. Both watches do a great job pairing each other, and the smaller watch is different from what you'd expect, as there's effort put into its design instead of making a gimmicky downscale of the bigger watch. Overall, they're a great pair of watches that serve as a great gift for partners to match wristwatches, and my only complaint is the male watch's band size, as out of the box it easily fits around my ankle, although adjusting the links was a breeze thanks to the provided tools.
