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）。在辛迪和弗朗索瓦家的花园里，某天地下突然长出一个圆滚滚的粉红色小球，他越长越大，最后变成了一个椭圆形的小巨人，孩子们给他起名叫巴巴爸爸。大个子给他带来了不少麻烦：人们禁止它上公共汽车，电影院还有餐厅......不过他的善良帮他解决了一个又一个的难题。他还有一种超长的本领，就是可以随心所欲地变形！克里克里巴巴变 ！想变啥就变啥！不久巴巴爸爸就遇到了，通体黑色，美丽动人的巴巴妈妈，他们生下了七个可爱的宝宝：巴巴祖，巴巴拉拉，巴巴伯，巴巴布莱伯，巴巴利波，巴巴布莱特，巴巴贝尔。一家人与人类和谐相处，过着快乐而充满惊奇的生活。。
