It tells the story of Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics (based on phonetician Henry Sweet), who makes a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can successfully pass off a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, as a refined society lady by teaching her how to speak with an upper class accent and training her in etiquette. In the process, Higgins and Doolittle grow close, but she ultimately rejects his domineering ways and declares she will marry Freddy Eynsford-Hill --- a young, poor, gentleman. - The play was later the basis for the successful movie adaptation \"My Fair Lady\" with Audrey Hepburn as Eliza and Rex Harrison as Prof. Higgins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Bernard Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1516846893\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781516846894\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 148\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.51w x 0.34d","brand":"George Bernard Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44132143628543,"sku":"9781516846894","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50613716-a225-4eab-8562-56ff939fe571.jpg?v=1687478477","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pygmalion-george-bernard-shaw-9781516846894","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
