From Amazon:The diary is that of a man who acknowledges that he is not a "Somebody" - Charles Pooter of 'The Laurels', Brickfield Terrace, Holloway, a clerk in the city of London - and it chronicles in hilarious detail the everyday life of the lower middle class during the Great Victorian age.
From the back cover:
The Diary of a Nobody is so unassuming a work that even its author, George Grossmith, seemed unaware that he had produced a masterpiece. For more than a century this wonderfully comic portrayal of suburban life and values has remained in print, a source of delight to generations of readers, and a major literary influence, much imitated but never equalled.

A wonderful diary of an ordinary, lower middle class clerk in 1880s London. Charles Pooter is continuously ruffled by high prices, the slang his young son uses and tradesmen that won't do what he has paid them to do. He's very likeable and the whole book is written with a great deal of warmth. A treat.
