Three Men in a Boat and
Three Men on the Bummel
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by
Jeremy Lewis
Three Men in a Boat is the beloved comic
account of three friends and a dog as they
experience misadventures on a “relaxing”
river jaunt. Jerome’s heroes proved so
popular that he brought them back for
an equally picaresque bicycle tour of
Germany in Three Men on the Bummel.

The Country of the Pointed Firs
and Other Stories
Edited with an Introduction by
Alison Easton
Modeled in part on Flaubert’s sketches
of life in provincial France, The Country
of the Pointed Firs is a richly detailed
portrait of a seaport on the Maine coast
as seen through the eyes of a summer
visitor. Jewett celebrates the friendships
shared by the town’s women, interweaving
conversations and stories about poor
fishermen and retired sea captains, thus
capturing the spirit of community that
sustains the declining town.
