- 'A collection of plays. Includes extensive preface notes on themes for each play.'
- 'George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) won the Nobel Prize in Literature
in 1925 and was one of the great literary minds of his day, in addition
to being one of its most entertaining personalities. In his youth he
became an ardent socialist and wrote five novels, which are still very
entertaining, although Shaw truly found his creative identity on the
stage and lectern.
- While he was a great dramatist, it is possible to
argue that Shaw's prefaces are better than his plays.'
