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）。80后女孩罗青鸟（李念 饰）与70后男叶小鱼（朱雨辰 饰）相爱，两年后，自认为已克服“婚姻恐惧症”的小鱼与青鸟歩入婚姻。由于两人相差十来岁，思维方式与价值观迥异，婚后不久既产生各方面的不和谐。青鸟不愿住在婆婆家里，她认为婚后应该有独立的爱巢。婆家拗不过，只好按青鸟的意思在离婆家较远的地方买了套房子。可这只是婚姻的开始，麻烦接踵而至，他们一个视家务为已任，另一个则崇尚零家务。一个要求身心与灵魂的高度自由，另一个则希望对方与自己形影不离。一个想要孩子，另一个想做“丁克”家庭，享受二人世界。总之，随着婚后生活的流逝，在双方家人的推波助澜下，青鸟和小鱼进入了艰难的婚姻经营期......。
