The Pinafore Picture Book: The Story Of H.M.S. Pinafore (Version 2)

About this film

LibriVox recording of The Pinafore Picture Book: The Story Of H.M.S. Pinafore (Version 2) by W. S. Gilbert. Read in English by David Wales Pinafore’s sublimely silly story is made even sillier by this (ostensibly for children) 1908 story version of the 1878 Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Gilbert, the author of the operetta’s lyrics, writes this version of the story with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. Most adults and children will find this version vastly amusing. - Summary by David Wales For further information, including links to online text, reader information, RSS feeds, CD cover or other formats (if available), please go to the LibriVox catalog page for this recording.
