About This Book

A trio of friends set out on a leisurely boating excursion along the Thames accompanied by a mischievous dog; their journey becomes a sequence of comic mishaps, bungled practicalities and humorous digressions. Interspersed with domestic anecdotes and witty observations, the narrative satirizes anxieties about health, pretensions of respectable society, and the gap between romantic expectations of restful travel and everyday reality. Episodes range from absurd self-diagnoses and chaotic preparations to encounters with eccentric river characters, and the prose alternates light farce with affectionate social commentary, celebrating camaraderie and the small absurdities of ordinary life.
