Description

A chance encounter between two individuals sets in motion a transformative journey. Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics, makes a bet with Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller, that he can teach her to speak refined English. As Higgins works to break down Eliza's Cockney accent, she proves to be more than just a pupil - her refreshing candor and generosity of spirit have an unexpected impact on Higgins. This witty and engaging tale explores themes of class, entitlement, and social prejudice, all while showcasing the power of mutual transformation. With its enduring popularity since its first production in 1913, Pygmalion has become one of the most adapted plays of all time, with numerous film and stage adaptations to its credit. This Warbler Classics edition includes an extensive biographical timeline, offering a deeper understanding of the author's life and work.
