About this audiobook
"More Bab Ballads" is a collection of humorous light verse by W.S. Gilbert, originally illustrated by the author himself. These comic verses, with their clever wit and wordplay, were a precursor to Gilbert's famous Gilbert and Sullivan comic operas. Each ballad, full of whimsy and satire, tells a unique, often absurd, story ranging from fairy tales to everyday life in Victorian England.
