  The Aunt and the Sluggard: I say! What's to be done with Bertie Wooster's chum Rockmetteller Todd? Rocky's Aunt Isabel wants him to live the life of a New York socialite but the poor chap loathes the city with his whole bohemian soul. Bertie's valet Jeeves has a master plan, of course, but it requires Bertie to leave his luxurious apartment. Worst of all, without Jeeves, he has to pick out his own socks and cravats! Surely this is more than man - civilized man that is - can bear! Jeeves and the Hard-Boiled Egg: Dear old Bicky (also known as Alistair Bingham-Reeves) is in the most frightful spot of bother. His uncle, the Duke of Chiswick, don't you know, thinks Bicky is on a ranch in Colorado, when he's actually living in New York and dreaming about chickens. I wouldn't fool you, old top - when I say chickens, I mean actual chickens! Bicky looks to Bertie for advice and Bertie, naturally, expects Jeeves to rally round. But when his apartment is infested with tourists from a small town in Missouri, the young master starts to wonder if his trusty servant hasn't gone completely off his rocker.

  The Song of Igor's Campaign

  The author of Lolita translates the celebrated, medieval epic Russian poem about a doomed campaign led by Prince Igor Sviatoslavich the Brave. 
   
  A chivalric expedition is undertaken in the late twelfth century by a minor prince in the land of Rus’ to defeat, against overwhelming odds, a powerful alliance in a neighboring territory. The anonymous poet who chronicled this adventure packed unprecedented metaphorical agility, keenness of observation, and fascinating imagery into the lean and powerful tale of the doomed campaign.  
   
  Discovered in the late eighteenth century and only narrowly distributed, the original manuscript was destroyed in a fire, leading to endless debate about the provenance and authenticity of the extant versions. It also served as the basis of Borodin’s opera Prince Igor. Translated by Vladimir Nabokov, the verses that constitute “The Song of Igor’s Campaign” are presented in their original rhyme and meter, and Nabokov’s extensive annotations provide illuminations on all the aspects of the text.

  The Aldrich Family was a popular teenage situation comedy that was heard on radio and seen in films, television and comic books. The creation of playwright Clifford Goldsmith, teenager Henry Aldrich was an endearingly bumbling kid growing awkwardly into adolescence. Episodes revolved around Henry’s misadventures with girls, his family and his friends. Portrayed on radio by 20-something Ezra Stone, The Aldrich Family launched as a summer replacement program for Jack Benny in NBC’s Sunday night lineup, July 2nd, 1939, sponsored by Jell-O. Stone kept the lead role until 1942, when he entered the Army for WWII. Several actors took over until Stone returned to his signature role, including Bobby Ellis who became the last Henry Aldrich in 1952. House Jameson and Katharine Raht portrayed Henry’s parents, Sam and Alice. Mary Shipp played Henry’s usual girlfriend, Kathleen Anderson. Jackie Kelk played the role of Henry’s best friend, Homer Brown, for most of the run. In 1949, the program made the leap to television while continuing to air on radio with a different cast.
