W. S. GILBERT (1836-1911)
ARTHUR SULLIVAN (1842-1900)

This volume contains the complete, authorized text of the fourteen operas for which Gilbert wrote the librettos and Sullivan the music, with the original illustrations by W. S. Gilbert.  It is the twenty-fifth addition to the Modern Library "Giant" series—complete, unabridged texts of famous books that formerly were available in only expensive editions or cumbersome sets.  Read the list of "Giant" titles inside the jacket — examine the paper and typography of this volume—and see for yourself why the conservative New York Times hailed the series as "the greatest book bargain in America today!"
