5.0 out of 5 stars
A delight for Gilbert & Sullivan fans,
By
This review is from: Asimov's Annotated Gilbert and Sullivan (Hardcover)
Writer Martin Gardner once told Isaac Asimov that if he really wanted to have fun, he should find a book he liked very much and annotate it. "Asimov's Annotated Gilbert & Sullivan" is one of the results of that suggestion. This enormous volume contains the words to all the G&S operas, plus extensive notes explaining allusions and words that might be unfamiliar to today's listener. Asimov assumes minimal knowledge on the part of the reader, so this book is useful and entertaining not only for the veteran G&S aficionado but also for the neophyte.

Groooovy baby!,
By William (Moreno Valley, Ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Asimov's Annotated Gilbert and Sullivan (Hardcover)
Isaac Asimov has such a delightful wit that even his explanations of archaic terms are fun to read. When combined with W.S. Gilbert's hilarious librettos, it makes one entertaining read. Actually, it makes more than one entertaining read. i have read it several times and still enjoy it.
