And, obviusly, the author had no way of knowing what was ahead, but the modern reader does know.ĭreadful narration of wonderful 1900 Jerome story. Reading this book, knowing that within a very few years the countries will be engulfed in war gives the book an additional depth. We learn about Germany and the German people as seen through the eyes of middle class Englishmen in the years just prior to WWI. But this is also an interesting historical viewpoint. The sections of the book where they are planning this trip alone are worth the price! For example, when the main character, "J" (a version of Jerome himself) remembers his error in allowing someone to "overhaul" his bike, it has me rolling with laughter every time I read or hear it. They end up taking their bikes through Germany. The three men are planning a holiday, away from wives and family. Rush out at once and get a copy.) I consider Three Men on the Bummel to be a worthy follow up book, and Frederick Davidson does a capable job of reading the story. (And if you haven't, you are missing something great. Jerome's best known book, Three Men on a Boat, will come to this audiobook with high expectations. Anyone who has read or listened to Jerome K.
