توضیحات
Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition features illustrations by A. Frederics and an afterword by David Stuart Davies.
Join our young heroes J., George and Harris (not forgetting Montmorency, the mischievous, irascible fox terrier) as they take a boating holiday along the Thames. Their aim is to escape the weary workaday world and improve their health, but they are ill prepared for the various escapades, difficulties and vicissitudes that they encounter along the watery way. The adventures of these incompetent innocents abroad are magnified to epic proportions by the storyteller, J. His narration gives the book not only a wonderful endearing freshness but also a series of hilarious moments of timeless comedy.

I tried to give this book a chance but it was so boring. There is a lot of unnecessary descriptions that I can do without. And the language is... Difficult, it is so old I can't enjoy the story with this kind of language. I stopped at chapter 7 skimmed through the other chapters and there was a lot of rambling about places and sceneries...etc so I had to stop here. Maybe it is good for academic reading but not for fun.
