Set in late 19th-century London, this comic novel follows the life of Charles Pooter, a middle-class clerk, as he chronicles his daily experiences and interactions with family and friends. The humor arises from Pooter's mundane yet earnest attempts to navigate social life and his aspirations for respectability. Originally serialized in Punch magazine, the book features extended text and illustrations, offering a satirical glimpse into the quirks of Victorian society through Pooter's perspective over a 15-month period.
