Tales of Lonely Trails


Zane Grey - 1922
    In many places there was no trail at all, and I encountered difficulties, but in the end without much loss of time I entered the narrow rugged entrance of the canyon I had named Surprise Valley. Sight of the great dark cave thrilled me as I thought it might have thrilled Bess and Venters, who had lived for me their imagined lives of loneliness here in this wild spot. With the sight of those lofty walls and the scent of the dry sweet sage there rushed over me a strange feeling that 'Riders of the Purple Sage' was true. My dream people of romance had really lived there once upon a time. I climbed high upon the huge stones, and along the smooth red walls where Pay Larkin once had glided with swift sure steps, and I entered the musty cliff-dwellings, and called out to hear the weird and sonorous echoes, and I wandered through the thickets and upon the grassy spruce-shaded benches, never for a moment free of the story I had conceived there. . . .

Jeeves, Jeeves, Jeeves


P.G. Wodehouse - 1976
    Wodehouse's wittiest and most enduring character.On this brilliantly played recording, Jeeves is portrayed by Roger Livesey while Terry-Thomas plays Bertie. Supported by an excellent cast, these actors render two vintage stories: Jeeves Takes Charge, in which Jeeves helps Bertie avoid marriage to a forbiddingly high-brow woman, and Indian Summer of an Uncle, a tale that finds Jeeves performing a similar service for Bertie's uncle, who must be rescued from the clutches of a silly young girl.Wodehouse's sparkling prose is meant to be read out loud, and this fine recording brings his sardonic humor to life as it ³conjures up a world of tea-trays, formidable aunts, rich uncles, romantic spinsters, and understated satire as British as tweed,² according to The Patriot Leader.
