This collection gathers the librettos of the fourteen comic operas created by W. S. Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan between 1871 and 1896. Their witty verses and satirical plots gently mock Victorian society, law, and love, while the music makes them enduring favourites. It is a lively introduction to these works, including The Gondoliers and other familiar titles.
