Three Men on the Bummel

Some time after "Three Men in a Boat", George, Harris and Jerome decided to go on a cycling holiday through Germany.

This relaxed and gently humorous story of the three friends wandering in and around the Black Forest is coloured by anecdotes, odd tales and Jerome's comments on the German people and their way of life.

This is great

Peter Yearsley, thank you so much for reading this. You make the text sound the way it should, and you don't rob it of all of its flavor by hamming it up, which is, apparently, how many audiobook readers think that Jerome K. Jerome should be read. Thank you! This recording is wonderful. If you haven't listened to it yet, you are about to have the supreme privilege of listening to it for the first time.

Lovely reading of wonderful book

I've listened to this twice via another narrator and find it overdone and detracts from the story. However this version is so gentle and calming. It brings out the real joy of the story that I found with 3 men in a boat and wanted to feel again with this book. Thank you so much for the narration.

NOT a travelogue.

I'm enjoying this so much. I've read it before, but never listened to it. At first I found the reader's tone a bit bland, but as the tale wound on I found it perfect for the period. There are bits of this that make me laugh out loud. It a very well observed account.

funny and informative: three men grown up

laugh out loud funny in several parts , humorous throughout , funnier than three men in a boat but with a serious chapter at the end discussing German character. as this is pre ww2 it is more interesting.

Loved it!
