Question

A brief character sketch of the narrator (Jim) in the novel three men in a boat

Answer 1

J is fond of history and literature and spends much of his time daydreaming about the days when knights roamed the countryside of England. This daydreaming sometimes gets him into trouble when he does not pay suitable attention to what he is doing.
J, like his two friends on the boat trip, is a little vain and conceited, but he realizes it and pokes gentle fun at himself, his friends, and the habits of others like them through his anecdotes.
J has always been fond of boats, but prefers the old fashioned.
