Описание книги:
The selected correspondence of Bernard Shaw relating to the play How He Lied to Her Husband contains 32 letters and entries, written between 1898 and 1949. The book represents a significant addition to contemporary understanding of Shaw's play How He Lied to Her Husband. It reveals his thoughts on a wide variety of issues and relationships with contemporaries. The play How He Lied to Her Husband was first published in a translation by Siegfried Trebitsch on 28 November 1904 in the Berliner Tageblatt. First English edition was published on 19 June 1907 by Constable and Company Ltd, London.

The book also includes an editor's note to German readers.
