Summary

Three friends, one dog, and endless laughs on the River Thames.

Three Men in a Boat is Jerome K. Jerome's hilarious and enduring comic novel about three bumbling friends—J., George, and Harris—and their loyal fox terrier Montmorency, as they set out on a boating holiday that quickly turns into a series of ridiculous and unforgettable escapades.

Published in 1889, this quintessentially British farce blends dry wit, absurdity, and keen social observation. Whether fumbling with tents or philosophizing on the miseries of packing, Jerome's characters reflect universal human folly with charm and good humor.

This edition includes classic illustrations and annotations for modern readers, making it the perfect escape for lovers of humor, satire, and travel gone wonderfully wrong.

"Still as funny today as it was over a century ago." — The Guardian
"A comic masterpiece of the English language." — The Times Literary Supplement

    I Am Like This Only!

    Welcome to I Am Like This Only! Before you start flipping through the pages, let me offer a quick word of advice: prepare yourself for a good laugh! This book isn't your typical political drama or an intellectual deep dive into governance. Far from it! It’s a light-hearted romp through the world of politics, filled with quirks, comedy, and the kind of misadventures that can only come from one very unique individual. 
Our main character, Dewan, is unlike anyone you’ve ever encountered. He has his own way of doing things, his own rules (which he often ignores), and an approach to life that is best described as… unconventional. Some might call him eccentric, others might call him unpredictable, but Dewan himself would probably just say, “I am like this only!” 
In this story, nothing is ever quite what you’d expect, and that’s exactly the point. We often take life too seriously, but through Dewan’s escapades, you’ll see that a little humour, a bit of wit, and a touch of madness can make all the difference. 
I’m not going to spoil what’s ahead, but I promise it will keep you smiling, chuckling, and possibly shaking your head in disbelief. This book is a celebration of embracing life’s quirks and laughing at our own imperfections. So, buckle up and get ready for a whirlwind of fun and surprises. 
Enjoy the ride, and remember: life is much more enjoyable when you don’t take it too seriously. 
Warm regards, 
Anshumala Singh

    How the cat she never wanted taught her the lessons she never knew she needed. 
It was not love at first sight for Jinx and Cynthia. The long-haired, dandruff-ridden creature wasn’t Cynthia’s dream for a new family pet. And Jinx was equally unimpressed with her. 
Jinx’s arrival marked a dramatic turning point in Cynthia’s life. Soon after, she endured a devastating loss and battled grief, loneliness, and depression. Throughout the turmoil, Cynthia and Jinx progressed from sparring partners, to reluctant roommates, to friends. When Cynthia finally decided to take her life back, she brought Jinx along for the ride. 
Side by side, they weathered all the excitement, disappointment, mishaps, and adventures that come with finding happiness and redefining your life. Through it all, Jinx was an unexpected source of comfort, affection, and valuable life lessons. Because sometimes the thing you most need shows up in the way you least expect.
