About the authors
A classic dig at self-importance in suburbia...as fresh and funny today as it was when it first came out in 1892. I defy any reader not to laugh out loud.
Sue Macgregor, Daily Mail
Hilarious...I'm so fond of the book I named one of my cats Lupin
Leslie Phillips
One of those rare books that nails a cultural archetype and has won the affection of successive generations
The Times
Pooter himself is as gentle as you could wish, a wonderful character, genuinely lovable. The book is beautifully constructed
Andrew Davies, Glasgow Herald
The funniest book about a certain type of Englishness...there is a whole line of these comic characters like Captain Mainwaring in Dad's Army, or Basil Fawlty
Hugh Bonneville, The Times
The funniest book in the world
Evelyn Waugh
There's a universality about Pooter that touches everybody...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
Jasper Fforde, Time Out
