An Introduction to the Gilbert and Sullivan Operas : From the Collection in the Pierpoint Morgan Library

Frederic Woodbridge Wilson / Published 1990

This book is of interest to all Savoyards, not just to the beginner. Contains a wealth of fascinating illustrations - e.g. Gilbert's sketch of Grossmith as J.W. Wells, and also some details of the extent of the G&S Collection at the Pierpont Morgan Library. It was from this book that I learned of the rediscovery of the original score of Our Island Home.
