NEW PRINT WITH PROFESSIONAL TYPE-SET IN CONTRAST TO SCANNED PRINTS OFFERED BY OTHERS Cap n Warren s Wards This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a fresh and newly reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2.

Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work.
Cap n Warren s Wards revolves around a retired sea captain who unexpectedly finds himself responsible for his late brother s children. The narrative highlights the contrast between the captain's down-to-earth nature and the high-society expectations of his niece and nephew. The protagonist's humorous approach to his new guardianship offers comic relief against the backdrop of his new responsibilities. As the story unfolds, family dynamics come into play, focusing on the bonds that develop between the characters despite their differences in social status. The novel examines the intricacies of family loyalty, inheritance, and the challenge of bridging class divides, all while maintaining a lighthearted and witty tone. The tension between the rustic, straightforward life of the captain and the refined, expectations of the wealthy relatives adds an amusing layer to the plot, exploring how individuals from different backgrounds navigate their relationship while confronting the demands of a new, unfamiliar family structure. Through humor and heartfelt moments, the novel presents a charming reflection on family and societal expectations.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist and political activist. Born in Dublin, he moved to London when he turned twenty. Having rejected formal schooling, he educated himself by independent study in the reading room of the British Museum; he also began his career there by writing novels for which he could not find a publisher. His first success was as a music and literary critic, but he was drawn to drama and authored more than sixty plays during his career. Typically his work is leavened by a delightful vein of comedy, but nearly all of it bears earnest messages. He remains the only person to have been awarded both a Nobel Prize (1925) for his contribution to literature and an Oscar (1938) for Pygmalion.
Written in 1893, Mrs. Warren’s Profession skewers the hypocrisy of British society. The wealthy, respectable title character’s “profession” is the world’s oldest, but Mrs. Warren is unprepared for the reaction of her daughter Vivie when she discovers her mother’s occupation. Shaw brings new life to the woman-with-a-past theme with wit and a defense of his heroine.
