Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Penguin Classics relaunchTHE DIARY OF A NOBODY began as a serial in Punch and the book which followed in 1892 has never been out of print. The Grossmith brothers not only created an immortal comic character but produced a clever satire of their society. Mr Pooter is an office clerk and upright family man in a dull 1880s suburb. His diary is a wonderful portrait of the class system and the inherent snobbishness of the suburban middle classes. It sends up contemporary crazes for Aestheticism, spiritualism and bicycling, as well as the fashion for publishing diaries by anybody and everybody. Mr Pooter is a man of modest ambitions, content with his ordinary life. Yet he always seems to be troubled by disagreeable tradesmen, not to mention his devil-may-care son Lupin with his unsuitable choice of bride.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A perennial best seller for an excellent reason; it amuses and allows us distraction from our own worries. This edition is among the most charming. It is beautifully enhanced by its over the top slightly pompous and self conscious design. It happens to be just right for this tale of self importance and petty points scoring. This copy is particularly good, because it might just be in an unread state. First printing, no damage, no names, no bent corners, no ex library abuses.
