A Hilarious Chronicle of Everyday Embarrassment and Social Climbing

First published in 1892, The Diary of a Nobody is the comically tragic record of Charles Pooter, a self-important London clerk navigating middle-class respectability with unintended absurdity. Written by brothers George and Weedon Grossmith - both stars of the Victorian stage - this book satirizes ambition, propriety, and suburban pretension with a light touch and enduring charm.

A forerunner to modern cringe comedy and beloved by readers of Wodehouse, Three Men in a Boat, and The Office, this edition includes a modern introduction and historical notes for today's reader.
