Having just moved into a fine, six-roomed residence, "the Laurels", the Pooters are ready to begin a new life. Charles, the paterfamilias, a lowly clerk in the City firm Perkupp's, begins to keep a diary, one that, over the next fifteen months, will provide a record of the small trials and tribulations - as well as the preoccupations, aspirations and social anxieties - of a late-Victorian family. Serialized in Punch between 1888 and 1889, and later expanded and illustrated for publication in volume form in 1892, The Diary of a Nobody, the Grossmith brothers' highest achievement, is a comic masterpiece and arguably one of the greatest artistic collaborations of all time.
