The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments! 

All the charm, gaiety and delightful satire of this, the best loved of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, are captured in this unusual little book.

Vivid narrative and fascinating pictures tell the sprightly story of Nanki-Poo, the Mikado's son, who, masquerading as a minstrel, falls in love with Yum-Yum—engaged to Ko-Ko the Lord High Executioner.

The amusing tale, the famous phrases, the even more famous melodies, are all to be found in this unique volume which will delight all lovers of Gilbert and Sullivan.
