The Twelve-Pound Look And Other Plays is a collection of four plays written by the famous Scottish author J.M. Barrie and published in 1921. The first play in the collection, The Twelve-Pound Look, follows the story of a man who has just been knighted and his wife who has left him. The second play, Rosalind, is a romantic comedy about a young woman who disguises herself as a man to win the heart of her beloved. The third play, The Will, is a satirical comedy about a man who tries to leave his fortune to his dog instead of his greedy family members. The final play, Pantaloon, is a humorous retelling of the classic Commedia dell'arte character. Barrie's writing is known for its wit, charm, and clever use of language, and this collection of plays is no exception.
