Weedon Grossmith's 1892 book presents the details of English suburban life through the anxious and accident-prone character of Charles Porter. Porter's diary chronicles his daily routine, which includes small parties, minor embarrassments, home improvements, and his relationship with a troublesome son. The small minded but essentially decent suburban world he inhabits is both hilarious and painfully familiar. This edition features Weedon Gross...

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 makes unwittingly as he bumbles his way through life, yet sympathy develops for Pooter in the face of it all. The classic ?English Humor? of The Diary of a Nobody is an ideal text...

Excerpt from A Society Clown: Reminiscences In the first place, he is hampered by having to be so egotistical. He must talk about him self, which is never a nice thing to do.
