A ruthless little farce from one of Broadway's most durable hits. Caught out in a lie, a young wife tells her husband she has had a baby — and now, at desperately short notice, must actually produce one in a New York flat, aided by a frantic friend and a rotating cast of borrowed infants. Margaret Mayo, an actress turned playwright, built a comic machine so sturdy it was filmed three times. This edition presents the complete and unabridged novel, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
