- Notes:
- "This edition first published 1958 Penguin Books Inc. ..."
- "Bernard Shaw never published his one-act plays in a single volume. To some of them he wrote full Prefaces, to others, short notes of introduction, and all these are reproduced here ... Looked at one by one, therefore, these plays naturally appear slight: but apart from their continued usefulness to performers ... they give collectively a good quick impression of the range and versatility of Shaw's genius."--P. vii.
- Front cover has portrait of Shaw by Milton Glaser.
