The Genius of Lancelot Biggs - A...

Nelson S. Bond

The Genius of Lancelot Biggs by Nelson S. Bond is one of the most beloved entries in the Lancelot Biggs series—a blend of clever humor, scientific imagination, and classic spacefaring adventure. Biggs is the quintessential “reluctant genius,” a bumbling yet brilliant space engineer whose accidental brilliance repeatedly saves his shipmates aboard the Saturnian Queen. In The Genius of Lancelot Biggs, Bond captures the charm of golden-age science fiction with a comedic twist: Biggs invents improbable solutions to cosmic disasters while maintaining a disarming humility that makes him both heroic and human.
The Lancelot Biggs stories first appeared in Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures throughout the 1930s and 1940s, later collected in Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman (1950). The series stood out for mixing slapstick wit and genuine scientific curiosity at a time when pulp sci-fi often leaned heavily on melodrama. Biggs was Bond’s most famous creation—a character whose inventive blunders and bursts of genius inspired later comic sci-fi heroes like Douglas Adams’s Arthur Dent.
Nelson S. Bond (1908–2006) was an American author, playwright, and literary agent whose fiction bridged pulp science fiction, fantasy, and adventure. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, Bond became a prolific contributor to magazines like Blue Book, Amazing Stories, and Astounding Science Fiction. His work often featured strong characterizations and humor, qualities that distinguished him from many of his contemporaries. Beyond Lancelot Biggs, Bond wrote the Meg the Priestess fantasy series and numerous tales of human resilience and irony. Later in life, he turned to radio, television, and theater, earning accolades for his versatility.

The Day Boy and the Night Girl

George MacDonald

The With an introduction by Michael Phillips.George MacDonald once declared, "I do not write for children, but for the childlike, whether of five, or 50, or 75."The Day Boy and the Night Girl is a splendid example of such writing. With words of wonder, beauty, and adventure, and with acute spiritual insight and sensitivity, MacDonald spins an enchanting tale of two children, a boy and a girl, who grow up from infancy in the castle of a witch. Unaware of each other's presence in the castle, the children are victims of an unnatural design upon them, in which the boy is never to know the night, and the girl is never to know the day. The boy is therefore scrupulously compelled to be indoors before sunset. And the girl is locked away in the dim, forlorn chambers carved in the rock beneath the castle. It is not until they reach adolescence that the two meet, quite unexpectedly, and quickly become aware that they must rely on one another if they are ever to escape the cruel and violent fury of the witch.
