We are starting our Story Time for Grown Ups series with a humorous novel by Jerome K. Jerome, called Three Men in a Boat. Every Monday and Thursday, a chapter from this book will be read aloud and posted on the Slough Libraries Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/sloughlibraries/
Based on the author's own experience travelling up the River Thames, this fictional travelogue charts the boating holiday of three city clerks and their trusty companion, a fox terrier called Montmorency. Travelling up the River Thames from London to Oxford in a wooden skiff, this tale is brimming with comic mishaps and celebrates the mundane banality of life with humour. Published in 1889, the timeless jokes and playful japes of Jerome, Harris and George and Montmorency, will be sure to lift spirits! So tune in every Monday and Thursday for an adventure on the Thames.
