Shaw's dramatization of a Cockney flower girl's metamorphosis into a lady is not only a delightful story, but also has much to say about social class, money, spiritual freedom and women's independence.

Its combination of ideas and social comment, together with its rich comic characterization, make it one of the most enduring and entertaining of English comedies.

Excerpts

As will be seen later on, Pygmalion needs, not a preface, but a sequel, which I have supplied in its due place.
