Introduction

Name: Diary of a Nobody - Introduction
Author: George Grossmith

Why should I not publish my diary? I have often seen reminiscences of people I have never even heard of, and I fail to see - because I do not happen to be a ’Somebody’ - why my diary should not be interesting. My only regret is that I did not commence it when I was a youth.

Charles Pooter The Laurels, Brickfield Terrace Holloway.
