"The English have no respect for their language, and will not teach their children to speak it. They cannot spell it because they have nothing to spell it with but an old foreign alphabet of which only the consonants - and not all of them - have any agreed speech value.

After a chance meeting with fellow linguist Colonel Pickering, phonetics professor Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can pass off a Cockney flower seller as a duchess, simply by changing how she speaks. However, Eliza Doolittle offers Higgins more of a challenge than he ever dreamed - and unexpectedly captures his heart. Will society accept Eliza as one of their own? Or will the experiment be a complete failure?

One of the most popular English-language comedies, Pygmalion was a smashing success on the Vienna, New York, and London stages. George Bernard Shaw's retelling of the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea inspired the Oscar-winning film version of the musical My Fair Lady.

Kobo Editions offers this fully-accessible version of the original text for your enjoyment.
