A wonderful collection of Shaw's most famous plays. "Pymalion," for example, provided the story for that great film, "My Fair Lady," a classic 1960's production with Rex Harrison and Julie Andrews. I don't know anyone who has not enjoyed that story and film. Now's your chance to read Shaw's fine play that inspired the movie. Yet you have 7 other plays to enjoy in this collection. If you enjoy the Theatre,Broadway plays especially, you'll have plenty of enjoyable reading in this anthology of eight excellent G.B. Shaw plays. Shaw lived to be 96 and was self-educated, brilliant and influential playwright. Please purchase and enjoy this collection. I bought a perfectly fine used copy. Plays are fun to read, and don't bother reading the stage directions, just focus on the dialogue.

Most plays run 80 to 100 pages. You can easily read a play in one sitting or over the course of a few nights of bedtime reading, providing enjoyment and a "break" from novels. As for me, novels, short stories, biographies, autobiographies,poetry, plays, non-fiction are all included in my reading choices.Do open yourself to a wide range of reading. Turn off the television and read, read, read~!
