Publisher Description:

This delightful Victorian comic diary is a classic of English humor which has never been out of print since its first publication in 1892. City clerk Charles Pooter asks: "Why should I not publish my diary ... because I do not happen to be a 'somebody'?" He proceeds to catalog all the social clangers he unwittingly makes as he bumbles his way through everyday life in Victorian London.

Contributor Bio(s): Grossmith, George: -

George Grossmith (1847-1912) and Weedon Grossmith (1852-1919), were brothers whose father was a friend of Henry Irving (whose theater was managed by Bram Stoker), Ellen Terry and her family, and other theatrical people. Both pursued successful theatrical careers. In 1888 The Diary of a Nobody began to appear in Punch, with text by both brothers and illustrations by Weedon. Its popularity with a wide range of readership was immediate, and has not faltered.
