The world knows W. S. Gilbert as half of the enduringly popular duo
of Gilbert and Sullivan whose comic operas with their ingenious
plots and witty songs have delighted audiences all over the world
for well over a century. But long before this great partnership
began, Gilbert was already writing inventive, humorous, romantic,
and occasionally even grim short stories-some of which would later
be reworked for the stage-in the pages of such popular magazines as
Punch, London Society and Fun. When he became famous for the
operas, however, most of these little gems-published with his own
unmistakable, quirky illustrations-soon became forgotten in the
rapidly yellowing pages of the magazines. Now they have been
restored to print in this first-ever collection that will prove a
delight for all fans of Gilbert & Sullivan operas as well as
those readers who enjoy a unique form of "Topsy-Turvy"
entertainment.
