Über diesen Titel

 Dive into the whimsical world of the Bab Ballads, a delightful collection of light verse crafted by the ingenious W. S. Gilbert, complete with his own charming illustrations. Long before he achieved fame for his comic opera librettos in collaboration with Arthur Sullivan, Gilbert was honing his craft with these Ballads, characterized by his signature topsy-turvy style. Here, he masterfully sets up absurd scenarios and explores their ludicrous outcomes, all while weaving in his trademark cynicism and satire. The Bab Ballads not only stand on their own as a remarkable literary achievement but also served as a rich source for characters, plots, and musical elements in the beloved Gilbert and Sullivan operas. Named after Gilberts childhood nickname, Bab, these Ballads are a unique blend of satire, nonsense, and pure absurdity. They were enjoyed in a variety of settings, from intimate dinner parties to grand public banquets, and even graced the halls of the House of Lords. Experience the extraordinary charm of this one-of-a-kind literary work!
