	The Bab Ballads
		Gilbert wrote a large number of "ballads" for the magazine Fun using his pen-name "Bab." These Bab Ballads became famous on their own, as well as being a source for plots and songs for the GandS operas.
		The ballads were very well received, and were read aloud at private dinner-parties, public banquets, and even the House of Lords.
		An audiobook of Jim Broadbent reading a number of the Bab Ballads under the direction of Mike Leigh was released in February of 2000.

	The Sorcerer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gilbert expanded on his own short story, "The Elixir of Love," and also used ideas from his earlier Bab Ballads, creating a plot about a magic love potion that – as often occurs in opera – causes everyone to fall in love with the wrong partner.
		A ballad for Lady Sangazure, "In days gone by," originally came immediately after "My child, I join in these congratulations." It was deleted after opening night and is now lost.
		Available evidence suggests that the ballad was dropped from the opera, and later reinstated during the original run (Hulme 1984, p.

	John Cranko - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		John Cranko wrote the comic ballet "Pineapple Poll", in collaboration with Sir Charles Mackerras, for a British Festival, following the expiration of the copyright on Arthur Sullivan's music in 1950.
		"Pineapple Poll" was based on Sir William Gilbert's Bab Ballad "The Bumboat Woman's Story", with music exclusively by Sir Arthur Sullivan including music from various Gilbert and Sullivan operas.
		Cranko choked to death after suffering an allergic reaction to a sleeping pill he took during a transatlantic flight.

		Jim Broadbent is the actor who portrayed Gilbert to perfection in the film "Topsy-Turvy." Now Broadbent brings his smooth delivery to these colorful ballads, some of which can be recognized as the inspiration for Gilbert and Sullivan's most popular operas.
		The "Babb Ballads" show the crafstman at his best with sparkling rhymes and funny stories.
		If you truly love the English language and the skill with which it can be used to amuse and entertain, this book is one that you should not be without.

	G&S Discography: The Bab Ballads read by Jim Broadbent
		After the success of the film Topsy-Turvy, Jim Broadbent (who played Gilbert in the film) recorded a set of the Bab Ballads, directed by Mike Leigh (who was also responsible for the film).
		Gilbert's ballads use words, and pronunciations, with which I am often unfamiliar, thus I am slowed down in reading them and lose the rhythm — a value of the recording.
		The copy I have claims to be "unabridged," but with only 31 ballads I have no idea how this can be unabridged, or even how the 31 ballads were selected as 8 were not included by Gilbert in his "complete" collection.

	G&S Discography: Bab Ballads and Cautionary Tales
		The selection of Bab Ballads is an excellent introduction to Gilbert's comic poetry.
		Side two features seven "Bab Ballads": "The Disagreeable Man", "To a Little Maid", "The Captain and the Mermaids", The Susceptible Chancellor", "The Reward of Merit", "Etiquette" and "The Terrestrial Globe", punctuated by his own theme played on the bassoon by Neil Levesley.
		His warm, English tones are perfect for these readings, and he points the irony well, although I feel he misses an opportunity by not including the stage direction at the end of "The Terrestrial Globe", the tag line which makes it one of my personal BB favourites.

		"Bab," by the way, was Gilbert's baby nickname; and his use of it tells us a lot about his personality.
		Dove Audio, however, has packaged these two cassettes with no table of contents at all; and so there is no way to tell ahead of time exactly what Bab Ballads are recorded, which is really an intolerable situation for an item like this.

	[minstrels] The Yarn of the "Nancy Bell" -- W. S. Gilbert
		While Gilbert is best known for his long and fruitful collaboration with composer Arthur Sullivan, he has also written a number of early pieces, submitted to Punch under the pseudonym Bab, that are both funny and rewarding.
		Note: THE "BAB BALLADS" appeared originally in the columns of "FUN," when that periodical was under the editorship of the late TOM HOOD.
		It may interest some to know that the first of the series, "The Yarn of the NANCY BELL," was originally offered to "PUNCH," - to which I was, at that time, an occasional contributor.

	Harvard University Press: The Bab Ballads
		W. Gilbert, renowned author of the Savoy Operas, was also the creator of the Bab Ballads--"possibly the best comic verse--and surely the best illustrated--in the English language," according to James Ellis.
		Gilbert published these poems, together with his own, grotesque drawings signed "Bab," a childhood nickname, in Fun and other magazines in the late nineteenth century.
		This is the only book to offer the complete collection of ballads with all original illustrations, a tribute to the comic genius of a writer known as "the most original dramatist of his generation." This collection will delight readers with its irreverence and wit.
