OUR STORE IS CLOSED ON ANZAC DAY: THURSDAY 25 APRIL
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) a Noble prize-winning Irish playwright and critic, as well as an ardent socialist and tireless activist for the working class.
The playwright's passionate and indignant guide for women, which tells how social injustice destroys lives, suddenly looks remarkably fresh. -- Polly Toynbee * The Guardian * He did his best in redressing the fateful unbalance between truth and reality, in lifting mankind to a higher rung of social maturity. He often pointed a scornful finger at human frailty, but his jests were never at the expense of humanity. -- Thomas Mann He was a Tolstoy with jokes, a modern Dr Johnson, a universal genius who on his own modest reckoning put even Shakespeare in the shade. * The Independent *
