George Bernard Shaw – Androcles and the Lion, Overruled, Pygmalion (My Fair Lady) – First Edition 1916

A first edition, first printing published by Constable and Company in 1916. A very good book, with one contemporary name which has shadowed through to the next page. Some bumping to the foot and head of the spine with some wear to the front board lower corner, with some minor spotting to the top edge of the text block. Wear to the edges and rubbing

Pygmalion, inspiration for the musical adaptation My Fair Lady, is set in Edwardian England, it follows the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl transformed into a refined lady by phonetics professor Henry Higgins as a social experiment. The novel explores themes of class, identity and the power of language.
