About this audiobook
"The Bab Ballads" is a collection of humorous and whimsical poems and songs written by W. S. Gilbert, a British author and playwright. These verses, originally published in magazines during the mid-late 19th century, are often absurd, playfully critiquing social norms of Victorian Era England. Some of them even served as the inspiration for Gilbert and Sullivan's famous comic operas.
