How do you get a value onClick from outside the anchor that is clicked?

Assuming the following HTML:

<tr id="record_1" >
<td id="name_1"><a href="#" id="logNameAndValue">Charles Dickens</a></td><td id="value_1">A Christmas Carol</td>
</tr>

How can I print out name=Charles Dickens value=A Christmas Carol by partially using the following jQuery: 

$('#logNameAndValue').click( function(event){
    name=?
    value=?
    console.log("name=" + name + " value=" + value);
});

$('#logNameAndValue').click( function(event){ 
    name=$(this).text();
    value=$(this).parent().next("td").text();
    console.log("name=" + name + " value=" + value);
});

name = $(this).text()
value = $('#value_' + $(this).attr('id').substring($(this).attr('id').length-1)).text()

In the click event function, the value would be $(this).siblings('td').text() I believe, and the name would be $(this).text().
