The Diary of a Nobody, the spoof diary of Charles Pooter, a London clerk, first appeared as a book in 1892 and has never been out of print since. The hilariously trivial doings of the accident-prone Pooter, his wife Carrie and their troublesome son Lupin have inspired many writers since, including the authors of Bridget Jones's Diary and The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole. The satirical novelist Evelyn Waugh called it "the funniest book in the world." This is the first fully edited edition of the Diary, with comprehensive notes on the many historical allusions in the text and a wide selection of relevant contemporary materials.
