I count it as an absolute certainty that in paradise, everyone naps. A nap is a perfect pleasure and it's useful, too. It splits the day into two halves, making each half more manageable and enjoyable. How much easier it is to work in the morning if we know we have a nap to look forward to after lunch; and how much more pleasant the late afternoon and evening become after a little sleep. If you know there is a nap to come later in the day, then you can banish forever that terrible sense of doom one feels at 9 A.M. with eight hours of straight toil ahead. Not only that, but a nap can offer a glimpse into a twilight nether world where gods play and dreams happen.

Actor Larry Brantley performed the humorous inner monologue of an impossibly charming Jack Russell terrier who imagines himself the hero in some of the most timeless tales of classic literature, from “Romeo and Juliet” and “Oliver Twist” to “Don Quixote” and “Frankenstein.” The goal for “Wishbone” was to make these stories accessible for children, paying homage to the source material, while aiming to instill young viewers with the interest to pick up the books themselves. Plenty of millennials who are now adults will attest to its success.
