"No writer since Shakespearean times has produced such a wealth of dramatic literature, so superb in expression, so deep in thought and with such dramatic possibilities as Shaw."- The Vegetarian Messenger, July 1946 This 150th Anniversary collection includes six popular works of George Bernard Shaw produced by the BBC.
