Book Review of The Diary of a Nobody (Oxford World's Classics)

The Diary of a Nobody (Oxford World's Classics)
reviewed on + 35 more book reviews


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.
