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）。《兔子机场》是一部法国快节奏的喜剧。该片中的所有动物，甚至河马都能飞。奈德和弗雷德这对兔兄弟也会飞，只是他们的姿势没有其他人那样的优雅。奈德和弗雷德这对兔兄弟决定要开一个机场。他们兄弟俩在一群永不停息的飞行生物中，肩负着重大的则责。奈德总是把这些责任留给弗雷德，这样他就可以专注于想办法来让机场变得更有趣一些。幸运的是，他们的朋友总能够及时给予他们帮助。Cookie，一个爱八卦的小松鼠，拥有温暖而热情的声音；Moppet，一个精力充沛的青年鹿实习生；Hughes，一个聪明、多情、目光短浅、又令人费解的老狼。每当奈德和弗雷德让事情失控时，这群朋友总是会不惜一切代价，排除万难让机场回到正轨。。
