I thought that the following listed stories in this book were interesting: The Black girl in search of God The Emperor and the little girl Beautie's duty And the rest were just average. I found that these stories as listed above were brave and punchy and even if there wasn't any point for them apart from to cause a stir I felt that in these Shaw Wrote what he thought and I found I was intrigued and respected him for it. On the others it seemed he had no real reason to write the stories and I guess this is why he writes "and some lesser tales" after the main title. :-) So Actually I decided to knuckle down and just get through this book in the end. And to be honest I didn't find much reason even once I HAD finished it. But Now I can honestly say I did it, it's read and I can honestly say I WILL NEVER EVER READ IT AGAIN!! Not in a hundred years and not just because I hardly ever read books a second time but because it wasn't worth reading it the first time..... The Best thing about this book is it's title. And that's honestly how I feel about it. Sorry Bernard Shaw.....
