Johann Nepomuk Nestroy was a 19th Austrian playwright. His play Einen Jux will er sich machen was the basis for Thornton Wilders play The Matchmaker which was, in turn, the basis for the hit musical Hello Dolly. Wilder followed Nestroy's storyline pretty closely but managed to tighten up the story somewhat.

This Nestroy play was the only one in the collection I have actually read. It was delightful. Lively and funny in a way that reminds one of a Mozart comic opera.
Ausgewählt und mit einem Nachwort versehen von Oskar Maurus Fontana.. pp. 951. Ln . Canb (v. Darmst) 11/3/69 [WBG]. 17.50.
