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）。剧版「诸葛四郎」由中国台湾华视改编推出，以《诸葛四郎-四郎与真平》命名。剧情与漫画原作有些改动：漫画里的四郎与真平是好朋友，无血缘关系；剧里则将四郎与真平之间的关系更改为失散多年的同父异母兄弟，并增加了一位将真平抚养长大的阿姨“云仙仙”。另外原本漫画里幼时父亲遭黑骑士杀害、与年迈母亲及妹妹玉真一同生活的诸葛四郎，剧里改为母亲被杀（凶手正是云仙仙）、父亲诸葛长风（同时也是真平之父）则活得好好的。剧情讲述15年前，云飞飞怀了诸葛长风的孩子，将他生下，然而诸葛长风无情，害云飞飞身亡。因此心中怀恨的云仙仙，将诸葛四郎的母亲杀害。那一夜，母亲被铁面人夺去生命，则成了诸葛四郎的梦魇……真平告知四郎桂国向卫国求助，而名为铁面党的组织要求桂王交出凤剑，否则下一个被特殊面具盖住容貌的就是公主……。作为幽灵族最后幸存者的少年“鬼太郎”，施展妖术，和干尽各种坏事的妖怪们作战。鬼太郎是日本有“妖怪博士”之称的漫画家水木茂所创造，该漫画于1965年开始连载，这位穿黄黑横纹背心、传统日式木屐的小男孩，以头发、背心和木屐当武器，和一群住在神秘森林里的妖怪朋友们，一起解决妖怪与人类两个世界的许多问题。。
