Professor Higgins claims to his friend Colonel Pickering that he could pass off a cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, as a duchess by teaching her to speak properly. She asks Higgins for lessons and he takes her as his pupil. In the course of her education she emerges not merely as a presentable lady but as a beautiful lady of increasing sensitivity and accomplishment. To Higgins, however, she is just a successful experiment.... This immensely popular romantic comedy by George Bernard Shaw is not only a classic in its own right, but has spawned numerous plays, stories and films (including its memorable official celluloid adaptation My Fair Lady all over the world.
