About this listen

The follow up to best-selling audio Three Men in a Boat, Three Men on the Bummel features delightful, gentle, comic writing. First published in 1900, the story revives the three companions from Three Men in a Boat, this time taking them on a bicycle tour through the German Black Forest.

Written during the Victorian era bicycle-craze, it is a light-hearted commentary on German culture at the time, told through the eyes of the hapless British tourist. The narrator fills us in further: A "Bummel" is described as a journey, long or short, without an end, the only thing regulating it being the necessity of getting back within a given time to the point from which one started. Sometimes it is through busy streets, and sometimes through the fields and lanes.

Extremely funny read in the required silky voice.

Extremely funny, capturing life in Germany. The reader's silky voice is perfect for this publication.

Beautifully read; poor audio quality

It is surprising that there are not more recordings of this classic and hilarious work. The unnamed narrator does a sterling job of relating the misadventures of the narrator, Harris and George, but the book is let down by its poor audio quality. It also, sadly, omits the chapter headings, which are highly amusing.
