When Higgins boasts he could pass anyone off as a lord or lady simply by teaching them to speak right, Pickering wagers that he can't and offers to pay for the speech lessons of Eliza Doolittle, a poor flower girl. Eliza accepts the offer for speech lessons because she wants to lose her Cockney accent so she can get a job in a flower shop. A satire of the superficiality of distinctions between social classes, \"Pygmalion\" is one of Shaw's most famous comedies, the subject of numerous stage productions. Forever immortalized by the multiple Academy award-winning motion picture \"My Fair Lady\", this play is sure to endure as a dramatic classic for years to come. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes the illustrations by May Wilson Preston which appeared in the first serialized American edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.23 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 29, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47446950904029,"sku":"9781420954647","price":13.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/VkNrN0lGbzBFUXFVOWtwalloZDhSdz09.webp?v=1771495994","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/pygmalion-illustrated-by-may-wilson-preston-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
