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）。對一個生於南部小鎮貧苦家庭的孩子來說，生活就是愁悶。雖然家有慈母，父親的臭脾氣實在嚇人，壞心腸的玩伴們更是不消提，全能全知的上帝又無時無刻不在監視著我們的一舉一動。直至姨媽的降臨，音樂與色彩才第一次進入生命，只可惜快樂的時光總是如此短暫…… 影片根據John Kennedy Tooler的小說改編，由曾執導過《遠方的聲音》(Distant Voices, Still Lives)和《長日將盡》(The Long Day Closes)的導演泰倫斯戴維斯(Terence Davies)執導，影片還曾經參加當年康城影展金棕櫚大獎的角逐。影片通過一個不速之客的闖入，展現了生活中的一個感人的成長故事。或許很多人都曾有過類似的經歷，一個貌不驚人的小變動卻能給人生帶來突破性的轉捩，影片中那種淡淡的味道極富生活氣息，同時又能在平淡中打動觀眾的心。。
