Hardcover w/Slipcover. Condition: Excellent. Lawrence, John (illustrator). In Excellent Condition. No Notes, Names or Markings. No Torn Or Folded Pages. May Have Minor Shelf Wear To Corner, Edges and/or Spine - For More Information On Condition. Please See All Photos. Mr Pooter is a man of modest ambitions, content with his ordinary life. Yet he always seems to be troubled by disagreeable tradesmen, impertinent young office clerks and wayward friends, not to mention his devil-may-care son Lupin with his unsuitable choice of bride. Try as he might, he cannot avoid life's embarrassing mishaps. In the bumbling, absurd, yet ultimately endearing figure of Pooter, the Grossmiths created an immortal comic character and a superb satire on the snobberies of middle-class suburbia - one which also sends up late Victorian crazes for spiritualism and bicycling, as well as the fashion for publishing diaries by anybody and everybody.
