Description:
The three plays collected in this volume demonstrate Sheridan's unerring ability to create unrivalled comedy out of ingenious plots, witty repartee, farcical situations and flamboyant characters. And while he never overtly moralizes, Sheridan uses brilliant comedy to deflate hypocrisy and satirize the manners of his age. In The Rivals, Captain Absolute becomes his own rival for the hand of Lydia Languish - wooing her under another name, while her aunt, the verbally inept Mrs Malaprop, wishes her to marry the real Captain. School for Scandal continues the theme of imposture when Sir Oliver tests his nephews by appearing to them in disguise, and learns that reputation and the approval of society are of little value. And The Critic, featuring the pompous Puff and the arrogant Sneer, is a mocking depiction of the theatre, playwrights and, of course, critics.

Decent book to help kids value mommy and daddy and the love they share with their children
Format: Hardcover
This is a decent book to help kids value mommy and daddy and the love they share with their children. It's got a few different stories in it for mommy, and the same for daddy. Half decent illustrations as well. Don't get too overly excited, it's not a very large book so I don't know if you really get a lot for the money but the concept and material within the book should help serve some purpose.

I love this book! I bought it for my best friends daughter and she finds this book to be hilarious. She even makes a bunch of fart noises while reading it. I need more of these!

Paper packaging left in the rain
Format: Paperback
The books thankfully had sturdy covers for paperback books. The pages of the story were protected from being ruined by the puddle my soaked envelope sat it. It would have been nice to get a notification that my package arrived or for Amazon to waterproof my order. We usually receive a text message with picture proof of delivery. The story is cute and rhyming. Fun to read to kids.
