The Mikado

Ever since its premiere just over a century ago, The Mikado has consistently held the stage as one of the world's best-loved comic operas. The story tells how Nanki-Poo, son of the Mikado, overcomes all opposition to marry his sweetheart Yum-Yum. On the way he encounters such unforgettable characters as Ko-Ko, the timid tailor unexpectedly promoted to the rank of Lord High Executioner, and Pooh-Bah, Lord High Everything Else, who is so proud that he refuses to lift a finger - except on payment of a small fee... This exquisitely illustrated easy piano picture book incorporates easy-to-play versions of the most famous songs from the show including Three Little Maids from School, The Moon and I and Tit-willow.
