Queen Alexandra used clothes to fashion images of herself as a wife, a mother and a royal: a woman who both led Britain alongside her husband Edward VII and lived her life through fashion. Inside the Royal Wardrobe overturns the popular portrait of a vapid and neglected queen, examining the surviving garments of Alexandra, Princess of Wales – who later became Queen Consort – to unlock a rich tapestry of royal dress and society in the second half of the 19th century.

When worlds collide: A Hunter trained to follow orders and the Sibyl of legend and time must work together to stay alive, if they don't kill each other first. Samantha Anders is over the BS in her life. She can't count the number of times Cardinal Sun mages have attacked her, threatened her, and been a general pain in her ass. Being the only Sibyl has made her life a living hell. It isn't like she asked for the ability to see across time. When the ancient magic of Chaos flares, Sam is dragged back sixteen hundred years into the past and thrown at the mercy of new enemies. If that isn't bad enough, Jeph, the self-confident mage trying to kill her, is taken along for the ride. Luckily for Sam, he needs to keep her alive in order to get home. Unfortunately, he's a rude, obnoxious flirt who likes to kill people-which would be fine, except altering the past means irrevocably changing their future. If they can survive the Dark Ages, they'll be forced to face each other?and the war within their hearts.
The present volume contains papers delivered at the International Conference on the Deuterocanonical Books, held at the Sapientia College of Theology, Budapest, Hungary, 14–16 May, 2009. The contributions explore various aspects of the Book of Judith: its textual versions, historical background, theological ideas and literary afterlife. The conference, on which this volume is based, was the most comprehensive scholarly meeting devoted recently to the Book of Judith. The contributors reopened several basic questions concerning the writing, such as the identification of concrete historical personalities reflected in the book, or some aspects of the halakhic system of the author.The scope of the contributions extends also to the late mediaeval use of the book by European playwrights.
