Before he achieved fame as the librettist of comic operas like Pirates of Penzance and H.M.S. Pinafore, W.S. Gilbert was known for his witty and irreverent verse. The Bab Ballads are a collection of some of his earliest published work, featuring comical and absurd situations, wordplay, and satire. The book includes such memorable pieces as 'The Yarn of the Nancy Bell', a macabre tale of shipwreck and cannibalism, and 'The Sorcerer's Song', a droll take on supernatural romance. The Bab Ballads are a charming and entertaining reminder of Gilbert's talent and wit.

This is a collection of humorous ballads and songs by the British dramatist and librettist W. S. Gilbert. The Bab Ballads are witty and satirical, poking fun at various aspects of Victorian society, from the legal system to the social elite. The songs of a Savoyard are from Gilbert's collaborations with the composer Arthur Sullivan, and include some of their most famous works, such as 'The Mikado' and 'HMS Pinafore'. This is a delightful book for anyone who loves Gilbert and Sullivan, or who enjoys Victorian humor.

In these hilarious and timeless poems, W.S. Gilbert skewers the hypocrisies and absurdities of Victorian society with wit and charm. This edition features illustrations by the author himself.
