The genuine hall-mark of humour is comparatively rare in English literature, but there is no mistaking its stamp in The Diary of Nobody. It is a straight-faced imaginary journal of suburban life in Holloway, when the region of London was a highly respectable neighbourhood. The rueful ?hero? who records his daily endeavours and misfortunes in an aptly-named person called Mr Pooter, a City clerk whose overdeveloped sense of dignity does not in the least prevent him from relapses into the ridiculous. The concocters of this elaborately amusing diary, which first appeared in punch in the nineties, were the celebrated brothers George and Weedon Grossmisth as wittily inventive a pair of writers as that golden age of comedy produced.
