Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。小鸡玛德机灵聪明，可是一直胆小怕事，戴着一幅笨重的大眼镜常常受到朋友们的捉弄和讥笑。一天它看到了天上忽然落下了一块碎片，以为是天要塌下来了，它到处惊慌的通知大家，一如既往惹来了众人的嘲笑。回到家里也只有爸爸与好朋友的鼓励。它一直以爸爸为榜样，希望能像爸爸那样成为一个杰出的棒球运动员，好不容易得到了一个出赛的机会，就算大家都认为它没法帮球队胜出比赛，但是它做到了。 没想到它遇到了从外太空来的生物，就算它继续受到嘲笑它仍坚持自己眼睛看到的东西，地球受到了另一个星球的攻击，就是为了要找会误留在地球的孩子，而玛德又能否帮助小家伙找回自己的父母呢？玛德又是否依然被人嘲笑嘲弄呢？。Legendary comedy writer and director Larry Charles travels the world in search of humor in the most unusual, unexpected and dangerous places.。
