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.

Despite slight, nigh-unnoticeable fading on spine, quite presentable.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. W. S. Gilbert, renowned author of the Savoy Operas, was also the creator of the Bab Ballads--"possibly the best comic verse--and surely the best illustrated--in the English language," according to James Ellis. Gilbert published these poems, together with his own, grotesque drawings signed "Bab," a childhood nickname, in Fun and other magazines in the late nineteenth century. In 1898, the older and by then distinguished Gilbert substituted pallid and inoffensive drawings for the originals, which he had come to believe "erred gravely in the direction of unnecessary extravagance." Since then the ballads have been collected and published in various editions, most of which have featured the revis.…
