LibriVox recording of Three Men on the Bummel, by Jerome K. Jerome. Read by Peter Yearsley.
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.
(Published in 1914. Summary by Peter Yearsley)

Subject:
A witty story - a lovely recording.
When three late-Victorian gentlemen escape from their claustrophobic suburban life to go on a cycling tour in the Black Forest of Germany, their trip turns into a comic expedition. Many of their humorous adventures and mishaps relate to the nuances in language and customs; one attempts to board a train unconventionally to avoid German procedures; when riding the Bummel in Dresden one butts and rolls into German passengers who, being familiar with the route know how to brace themselves and don't see the humour; another tries to buy his aunt a cushion and gets angry after he pays for it because he gets only a kiss from a young girl instead.
Full of humour and wit! Beautifully read by Peter Yearsley – many thanks for your recording!
