What could possibly go wrong?

Three Englismen decide to go on holiday in Germany. They plan to take their bicycles; they will travel by train between the major cities and do day trips by bike. What could possibly go wrong? The answer is EVERYTHING! You will laugh yourself sick. I'm surprised that this hasn't been made into a film or a TV series; get some of the guys from Monty Python, or the guys who played James, Tristan and Sigfried on "All Creatures Great & Small".

Rollicking story of three gentlemen on a cycling tour

Three Men On The Bummel is Jerome K. Jerome rollicking story of three late-Victorian gentlemen on a cycling tour in Germany's Black Forest. This long out of print comic classic of English literature is now finally available in a complete and unabridged audiobook format (6 CDs, 6 hours, 56 minutes) enhanced with a superb narration by David Case. School and community are encouraged to send for the free Tantor Media catalog for a complete listing of their unabridged literary classics of popular fiction.

Humorous tales of cycling the Black Forest

I read this book--which I assume is a fictionalized account of an actual journay--after having spent a year in Germany and I bemused by the fact that the Germans that Jerome K. Jerome characterizes in this book (published in 1900) are very similar to those of the present day. Added to this, is the fact that the book is mainly set in the Black Forest region of Germany, which is where I stayed. So not only was this book humorous and entertaining, it rekindled fond memories as well. The writing I fear will disillusion the more casual reader, but for those who have the inclination, this book is a very worthwhile read.
