Reviews

'In Bernard Shaw and the BBC, Leonard Conolly tells a fascinating story from beginning to end. Conolly is a consummate editor with wonderful writing and attention to detail, and his thoroughly researched and documented account is unique in offering the points of view of both Shaw and the BBC. A superb study and a great pleasure to read.' --Don B. Wilmeth, Asa Messer Professor Emeritus, Brown University
