About this book

"Pygmalion" by Bernard Shaw is a play written in 1912. When phonetics professor Henry Higgins boasts he can transform a Cockney flower girl into a duchess simply by teaching her proper speech, Colonel Pickering takes the bet.

This witty comedy became Shaw's most popular work, later inspiring the musical "My Fair Lady."
