This review is from: The Complete Pratt (Paperback)
David Nobbs is a British writer, most famous for his television work (e.g. The Rise And Fall of Reginald Perrin, with Leonard Rossiter in the title role) which just reminds me how much better British TV has been on the average over the USA product. The Complete Pratt is a set of three novels about an ordinary man, Henry Ezra Pratt, born in poverty on the eve of WWII, growing up and surviving in postwar Britain, his adventures proof that life is what happens to you while you're making plans. There are laughs on every page, and Nobbs has great affection for his characters.
