Pygmalion is a play by George Bernard Shaw, named after a Greek mythological figure. It was first presented on stage to the public in 1913.

In ancient Greek mythology, Pygmalion fell in love with one of his sculptures, which then came to life. The general idea of that myth was a popular subject for Victorian era English playwrights, including one of Shaw's influences, W. S. Gilbert. Shaw would also have been familiar with the burlesque version, Galatea, or Pygmalion Reversed. 
Shaw's play has been adapted numerous times, most notably as the musical 'My Fair Lady' and its film version.Public Domain

Persuasion (1818) by JaneAusten

More than eight years before the novel opens, Anne Elliot, then a lovely, thoughtful, warm-hearted 19 year old, accepted a proposal of marriage from the handsome young naval officer Frederick Wentworth. He was clever, confident, and ambitious, but poor and with no particular family connections to recommend him. Sir Walter, Anne's fatuous, snobbish father and her equally self-involved older sister Elizabeth were dissatisfied with her choice, maintaining that he was no match for an Elliot of Kellynch Hall, the family estate. Her older friend and mentor, Lady Russell, acting in place of Anne's late mother, persuaded her to break the engagement. Now 27 and still unmarried, Anne re-encounters her former love when his sister and brother-in-law, the Crofts, take out a lease on Kellynch. Wentworth is now a captain and wealthy from maritime victories in the Napoleonic wars. However, he has not forgiven Anne for rejecting him. While publicly declaring that he is ready to marry any suitable young woman who catches his fancy, he privately resolves that he is ready to become attached to any appealing young woman except for Anne Elliot.

Keira, a girl growing up in the Redmont fief, has always longed to be a Ranger's Apprentice. When she overhears a rumor that the local Ranger is in need of an Apprentice, Keira tells the Baron what she wants. After a long struggle, the Ranger steps in and decides to accept her, more out of pity than want or need . Gradually, however, the pair grow closer and can tolerate each other's company. This story will take them on many adventures together, so strap in or pull up a chair, get comfortable, turn on some music and prepare to go on the journey of your life. ((Original idea and RA characters belong to John Flannagan, author of the Ranger's Apprentice Series. I own Fury, Keira, Silean, and a few others.)) ________________________________________________________________ Almost 6 years after this Fan-Fiction began, I have decided to rewrite it, more for personal reasons than anything else. Since my life is significantly more busy than it used to be (becoming an adult will do that to you), it is going to take a very, very long time for me to re-write this. However, I am still going to try and re-write it. :) ________________________________________________________________ Sequel: http://www.wattpad.com/story/9836573-a-ranger%27s-apprentice-for-eternity-a-ranger%27s
