George Bernard Shaw (b.1856), known by his initials as GBS, is considered by some to be the second greatest English playwright of all time only trailing Shakespeare, whom he made a public reputation initially for criticizing. This small volume explores not only that episode in laugh-inducing detail, but also explores his vegetarianism, socialism propagation, and how an Irishman both captivated the British nation and made himself a millionaire, but still wasn't content to remain comfortable at the top.
