A lighthearted burlesque of Victorian English culture and the vagaries of love, set in a fanciful (and wholly imaginary) Japanese society, and one of the most admired of all the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. The sparkling lyrics and witty dialogue are as much a delight to read as they are to hear with musical accompaniment. This edition contains the complete libretto with charming illustrations drawn by W.S. Gilbert himself.
