From the FOREWORD. SOME of those who owe many a delightful hour to the genius of Sir William S. Gilbert may be interested in hearing how this book came to be written. In the pre-war days, that now seem so dim and distant, it occurred to his publisher that the story of "The Mikado," told afresh by its author, would be welcomed by many of his admirers.

That its publication has been so long delayed must be attributed mainly to the difficulties which have obstructed the production of books... But the evidence of never-failing popularity which recent revivals of the Savoy Operas have afforded, suggests that this last literary work of Sir W. S.

Woodward, whose talented work and sympathetic rendering of all that is humorous and fanciful have made her known to a wide circle of admirers.
