With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of
English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury. 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. If you don't recognise yourself at
some point in The Diary you are probably less than human. If you
can read it without laughing aloud you have no sense of humour.

Starts off well but soon loses its humour, and descends into a mediocre fare. Not recommended, there are better reads out there and I cannot understand how this is listed as a "must-read" classic.
