Close to "As New" and could easily pass as such. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (7.8 x 5 x 0.65 inches) . Cover illustration by John Jensen who we assume is also responsible for the deliriously humorous illustrations scattered throughout the text. Language: English. Weight: 7 ounces. First published in 1983 by Michael Joseph. Trade Paperback. This is Keith Waterhouse's parody of 'The Diary of a Nobody' by George Grossmith, written from Mrs Pooter's perspective. If you've read the latter - and you really must - then Mrs Pooter's comments are very amusing, giving a sense of a slight irritation with her husband and in particular his rather odd sense of humour but her love for him also comes through clearly. A very clever riposte to Charles Pooter's diary, with the added delight that unbeknownst to him, she regularly read his diary. If you, like myself, are a neo-Victorian, you will "laugh till the bed shakes", as the hero of this 'diary' (and yes, 'hero' is the right word) himself does at his own punny jokes. Ten pages in and half as many persons have tripped over the mud scraperan unmanageable young son with 'forward' slangsquabbles with servants, old friends and unpleasant new acquaintancestrouble at worksocial embarrassmentseverything a lover of all things Victorian could ask for and more. Even if you don't live and breathe top hats (Posh three-shilling hats, rather) , you will probably get a kick or two out of this, especially if you erupt in mirthquakes whilst paging through it in a public library or at the doctor's office. Keith Waterhouse CBE (1929 2009) was a British novelist and humorist (not necessarily in that order) and newspaper columnist and the writer of many television series. He was a noted arbiter of newspaper style and journalistic writing. Mr. Waterhouse fought long and high-spirited crusades to highlight what he perceived to be a decline in the standards of modern English; for example, he founded the Association for the Abolition of the Aberrant Apostrophe, whose members attempt to stem the tide of such solecisms as "potatoe's" and "pound's of apple's and orange's" in greengrocers' shops. In February 2004, he was voted Britain's most admired contemporary columnist by the British Journalism Review. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 234 pages First Edition Thus (1985).
