Gilbert is best known for his fourteen comic operas produced in collaboration with the composer Sir Arthur Sullivan, of which the most famous include HMS Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance and one of the most frequently performed works in the history of musical theatre The Mikado. Gilbert also wrote the Bab Ballads, an extensive collection of light verse accompanied by his own comical drawings.
