The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Vol. 1
Summary
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's detective genius, Sherlock Holmes, came to NBC radio in 1930 with Richard Gordon playing the legendary sleuth. By 1939 Basil Rathbone was heard as Holmes, with Nigel Bruce as Doctor Watson. The duo was simultaneously starring in a popular series of Sherlock Holmes features for Twentieth Century Fox and later for Universal Studios. By the end of the mid-1940s, Rathbone was eager to separate himself from the radio show to avoid being typecast. Though the show's sponsor offered him generous pay to continue, he decided to move on. Tom Conway then took over the role, with Nigel Bruce continuing as Watson. Conway and Bruce were replaced in 1947 by John Stanley and Alfred Shirley. Others to portray Holmes and Watson during the radio program's run were George Shelton and Ian Martin and Ben Wright and Eric Snowden. In 1955, NBC signed heavyweights John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richards onto star as Holmes and Watson, but with radio quickly giving way to television, it lasted only one season. This collection contains 12 amazing Sherlock Holmes adventures, starring Tom Conway and Nigel Bruce. Episodes include: "The Clue of the Hungry Cat", "The Adventure of the Original Hamlet", "The Singular Affair of the Dying Schoolboys", "The Adventure of the Genuine Guarnarius", "The Adventure of the Sally Martin", "The Strange Death of Mrs. Abernetty", "The Adventure of the Half-Eaten Apple, the Coptic Compass, and the Unclothed Corpse", "The Adventure of the Elusive Emerald", "The Adventure of the Grand Old Man", "The Singular Affair of the White Cockerel", "The Darlington Substitution Case", and "The Singular Affair of the Babbling Butler".

Tom Jones
Summary
The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, often known simply as Tom Jones, is a comic novel by the English playwright and novelist Henry Fielding. First published on 28 February 1749, Tom Jones is among the earliest English prose works describable as a novel. Tom Jones is a foundling discovered on the property of a very kind, wealthy landowner, Squire Allworthy, in Somerset in England's West Country. Tom grows into a vigorous and lusty, yet honest and kind-hearted, youth. He develops affection for his neighbour's daughter, Sophia Western. On one hand, their love reflects the romantic comedy genre that was popular in 18th-century Britain. However, Tom's status as a bastard causes Sophia's father and Allworthy to oppose their love; this criticism of class friction in society acted as a biting social commentary. The inclusion of prostitution and sexual promiscuity in the plot was also original for its time, and also acted as the foundation for criticism of the book's "lowness."
