Pygmalion (illustrated)

This play is based on the Greek myth of Pygmalion. It tells the story of
Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics (based on phonetician Henry Sweet),
who makes a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can successfully
pass off a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, as a refined society lady
by teaching her how to speak with an upper class accent and training her
in etiquette. In the process, Higgins and Doolittle grow close, but she
ultimately rejects his domineering ways and declares she will marry Freddy
Eynsford-Hill - a young, poor, gentleman. Adapted for film under the title
of 'My Fair Lady'.

Includes unique illustrations.
