Laurie's readings prove him to be not only a skilled light comedian and actor but a very satisfying reader, with a very flexible voice.

Burning Bridge

"Wonderfully fresh and funny, and among examples of Victorian humour I would place it high in the pantheon, right up there with The Importance of Being Earnest and The Diary of a Nobody... Jerome's writing... triumphantly stands the test of time, with its comic flights of exaggeration, its occasional archness, and its entirely innocent hint of the camp."
—Daily Telegraph

"A charming comedy of friendship and human nature."
—Independent

From the Publisher

Wonderfully fresh and funny, and among examples of Victorian humor I would place it high in the pantheon, right up there with The Importance of Being Earnest and The Diary of a Nobody . . . triumphantly stands the test of time, with its comic flights of exaggeration, its occasional archness, and its entirely innocent hint of the camp.

Daily Telegraph

I fell out of bed laughing at Three Men in a Boat.
