Reviews

The funniest book in the world
There's a universality about Pooter that touches everybody . . . [he] fits into the tradition of absurd humour that the British do well, which started with Jonathan Swift and runs through Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear to Monty Python
Pooter himself is as gentle as you could wish, a wonderful character, genuinely lovable. The book is beautifully constructed
One of those rare books that nails a cultural archetype and has won the affection of successive generations
