About the Book

When writer, audiobook narrator, and television broadcaster Steve Matchett was asked to name his three favourite authors, he swiftly volunteered the names of Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, and Jerome K. Jerome. The last of these may not be as widely known, but this only highlights the immense value Matchett places on Jerome's work. Jerome is best known for Three Men in a Boat, his comic masterpiece of 1889. This captivating tale of an unhurried boat trip along old England's river Thames, with its charming mix of adventures and misadventures has long stood the test of time. More than a century after its initial publication, Jerome's witty, often pithy observations on the quirkiness of daily life remain both relevant, poignant and genuinely laugh-out-loud funny. In this wonderfully attractive special edition: Three Men in a Boat - The 130th Birthday Celebration, Steve Matchett presents us with a warm, heartfelt tribute to this enchanting story. Matchett has reproduced the original text directly from the fragile pages of his own, much cherished first edition copy - and this special edition comes complete with an endearing introduction; a touching piece of writing in which Matchett discusses exactly why he is so enamoured with this sweetly gentle tale of yesteryear. Moreover, each chapter of Jerome's unfolding story comes complete with Matchett's own annotated notes. Along with these insightful "notes from the riverbank", Matchett has included thirteen illustrations: a set of recreations of the best pen-and-ink artwork from the delicate pages of his frail 1889 copy. All these drawings have been meticulously (digitally) cleaned and then resized before being painstakingly re-inked and shaded by hand especially for this celebratory edition - the icing on this party's birthday cake. The end result of Steve Matchett's genuine labour of love - his self-evident appreciation for Jerome's masterpiece - is a truly beautiful volume; a fresh and elegantly presented edition of this timeless classic; one sure to win a whole new audience - a book to cherish and to enjoy over and over again.
