This little book is very famous in England because it accurately depicts suburban life at the turn of the 20th Century. Written as a diary, it is easy to read and it isn't long, either. I was exasperated and amused by the diarist.
Re-issued as an Oxford World Classic, this is a diary of an ordinary, somewhat obtuse man at the end of the 19th century. His life is very ordinary, but he decides his diary should be published just like any person of import. Written by a former Gilbert and Sullivan troupe member and illustrated by his brother, it's an amusing book.
