Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Second printing, 1980. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in FINE condition. "To many, W.S. Gilbert is known only as the librettist of the famed Gilbert & Sullivan operas. In fact Gilbert was a comic poet of genius. His major work was THE BAB BALLADS, in the jaunty rhymes and bouncing rhythms so familiar in the operas. Gilbert's versifying seems effortless. He oscillates between whimsicality, nonsense and topical satire. Delectable."---Saturday Review. "During the lifetime of William Schwenck Gilbert his 137 Bab Ballads (named from the signature he gave his comic drawings) never got into one book. Eighty-six was the best ever done. Now we are given them all with the original, delightful drawings, and for a certainty no writer of comic verse ever did better in both media."---Boston Globe. Pristine copy w/a different, tan cover populated by drawings of the Bab denizens; sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no age toning on pages. Despite slight, nigh-unnoticeable fading on spine, quite presentable.
