Three in Norway (by two of them) is a travelogue from the 19th century in Norway. First published in 1882, the book tells, in an engaging humorous and deadpan style, the adventures of three friends who set out to fish and shoot through one long summer, traveling by canoe and camping along the way in Jotunheimen, a mountainous area. This amusing party make light of the rigours of outdoor life in Norway and enjoy every minute of their idyllic tour. Pristine lakes full of large eager trout, which have never seen an artificial fly, heather hills rich with ptarmigan and reindeer, the sturdy characters among the Norwegian country folk they encounter, all are described with a freshness and verve which are irresistible. (From wikipedia).
It served at an inspiration for Three Men in a Boat, by Jerome K Jerome.
