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）。一个在地震中埋了3天的女孩文雯被救起，被救起来以后，她一直坚信自己爸爸还在地心里旅游，她在每一个可以画上蚕豆的地方穿越到地心里，去拯救会讲童话的爸爸。雯雯的妈妈带着她走进了一个有奶奶、爸爸和哥哥的新家，然而，雯雯随之面对的是排山倒海般的爱向她袭来，在这样的爱之下，婆婆和媳妇、儿子和父亲、丈夫和妻子、继母和儿子、母亲和女儿的矛盾交错冲击，雯雯的妈妈终于心力交瘁了，虽然她不顾一切地想要了解和帮助她的女儿，但这样的亲子关系最后仍然以难以捉摸的失败告终——雯雯选择将自己封闭在了一个完全由爸爸的童话故事《地下根娘》的想象世界中，她仍然在自己的绘画中穿越地心，借此逃避爸爸去世的事实，全家矛盾最终以奶奶的求神拜佛而激化，雯雯的妈妈带着她离家。 这时，小哥哥英勇出击，他首先参与了雯雯的寻找根娘、救出爸爸的地心历险，并带着全家人一起和雯雯经历一场陌生离奇的，却也令人期待和欣喜的“破茧成蝶”的地心飞跃……。
