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）。故事描述特工处探员Ethan Burke来到乡村小镇Wayward Pines（即本剧剧名）寻找两名神秘失踪的联邦探员。他没有得到想要的答案，反而遇到了更多的问题。这个地方就像有某种魔力一般，Ethan距离真 相越近，就越丧失自我——就连他的性格都变了。他不得不面对可怕的现实：他可能永远无法活着离开这地方。。瓦达（安娜·克拉姆斯基 Anna Chlumsky 饰）的母亲在她很小的时候就离开了她，但在内心里，瓦达非常崇拜自己的母亲。一天，学校的老师给同学们布置了一片论文，让大家写一写自己尊敬的人，瓦达决定写自己的母亲。但是很快瓦达就发现，自己对于母亲的了解实在是太少了，不足以成文，于是，她决定前往洛杉矶去找舅舅菲尔（理查德·马苏尔 Richard Masur 饰），向他讨教母亲的生平。 在洛杉矶，瓦达结识了了自己的堂哥尼克（奥斯汀·奥布莱恩 Austin O'Brien 饰），照顾瓦达的任务就落在了尼克的身上。虽然尼克对这个腾空出世的妹妹感到非常的头疼，但渐渐的，两人之间产生了羁绊。。
