THE DIARY OF A NOBODY

“The funniest book in the world.” – Evelyn Waugh
“Very funny and also charming...it still pleases readers, like me, who return to it time and again.” – The Telegraph

This classic comic tale of Victorian suburbia was created by two brothers ; George did most of the writing and Weedon provided the famous illustrations. The book’s narrator, Mr Pooter, is “a sublime comic creation” and the word Pooterish can now be found in the Oxford English Dictionary.

This edition contains the original illustrations by Weedon Grossmith.
