- Cymbeline - Measure for measure - King Lear - Hamlet - Romeo and Juliet - Othello - The Winter's tale - The taming of the Shrew Simplified by Roger T. Anderson

Martyrs to hypochondria and general seediness, J. and his friends George and Harris decide that a jaunt up the Thames would suit them to a �T�. But when they set off, they can hardly predict the troubles that lie ahead with tow-ropes, unreliable weather-forecasts and tins of pineapple chunks � not to mention the devastation left in the wake of J.�s small fox-terrier Montmorency. Three Men in a Boat was an instant success when it appeared in 1889, and, with its benign escapism, authorial discursions and wonderful evocation of the late-Victorian �clerking classes�, it hilariously captured the spirit of its age.
