(This volume has sometimes been confused with a book of the same name which actually contains the 14 libretti of the G&S operettas.) This book is a smart overview of each of the main works, with a production history and general analysis. It's a fairly light and pleasing work, and certainly not the definitive one on the subject, but a sensible and enjoyable read.
