Baby Mine

Written by Mayo, Margaret

"Baby Mine" by Margaret Mayo is a farce comedy play that debuted on Broadway in 1910. When young newlyweds Zoie and Alfred Hardy separate over their disagreements about having children, Zoie hatches an outrageous scheme to win back her baby-loving husband: she'll borrow an infant and claim it's theirs. But when the borrowed baby's mother has second thoughts, a frantic scramble ensues to find a replacement before Alfred arrives home. The play became a hit with audiences, sparking multiple film adaptations despite its daring subject matter.

Suggested age, readers, English difficulty and US school grade are separate labels. Age groups are guidance based on source information or editorial review; unreviewed books are “Not assessed”. A US grade is assigned only with source information or a documented assessment; otherwise it is “Not assessed”. Levels use A1–C2 to indicate reading difficulty. StoryWeaver levels 1/2/3/4 use our approximate A1/A2/B1/B2 guide, labelled “estimated”; this is not an official equivalence. A book-specific assessment takes priority. Other unassessed books are labelled “Not assessed”. Source StoryWeaver levels are retained separately. Classics retain their original English.
