| Plot Summary of My Fair Lady |
|---|
"The novel form of George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion has the witty banter and quotes we all know and love. We get to laugh along as Eliza Doolittle turns from cockney flower girl to a lovely addition to "proper" society, but will she like the transformation and will Henry Higgins see her as anything other than an experiment?"
