Disney's sequel to its animated classic 'Peter Pan'. Wendy, the heroine of the first film, is now a grown-up woman with a 12-year-old daughter of her own; but the daughter, Jane, no longer believes her mother's tales about Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, thinking herself too old for stories of fairies and magical lands. So when Captain Hook's pirate ship appears in the sky above London and swoops down to kidnap the cynical young lady, it's fair to say that she has to reconsider her worldview.
Held captive in Never Land, Jane discovers that Hook is still out to get Peter Pan - but can she find a way to help Peter avoid the pirate's trap?

The renowned Gallic poet Pacatus Drepanius journeyed to Rome in the
summer of AD 389 to deliver a speech to the Emperor Theodosius;
both men stood for the first time before the Roman Senators. It was
a moment of high political charge. The Latin speech survives and is
here presented both in the original and with facing English
translation; the introduction and commentary capture the
groundbreaking character of the work and set it in its historical,
rhetorical and literary contexts.
Double bill of Disney's 'Peter Pan' adventures. The first film, 'Peter Pan' (1953), tells the story of what happens when Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow up, visits the Darling family nursery and takes the children on a magical journey to Never Land. When they arrive they become embroiled in an on-going battle between Peter, his friends the Lost Boys, and the wicked Captain Hook, a pirate who has lost his hand and his watch to a hungry crocodile.
In the sequel, 'Return to Never Land' (2001), Wendy Darling is now a grown-up woman with a 12-year-old daughter of her own; but the daughter, Jane, no longer believes her mother's tales about Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, thinking herself too old for stories of fairies and magical lands. So when Captain Hook's pirate ship appears in the sky above London and swoops down to kidnap the cynical young lady, it's fair to say that she has to reconsider her worldview. Held captive in Never Land, Jane discovers that Hook is still out to get Peter Pan - but can she find a way to help Peter avoid the pirate's trap?

George C. Scott plays the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge in this version
of the Dickens Christmas classic. Scrooge is a misanthrope
unimpressed by the fuss everyone makes during the festive season.
That is, until his sleep is disturbed one Christmas Eve by the
ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, each of which takes
him on a journey which helps him to open his heart to his fellow
man and to thereby learn the joy of Christmas. Filmed entirely on
location in the historic town of Shrewsbury.
This book aims to make accessible the sources and controversies
concerning a key period in the history of the Roman Empire -- the
reign of Diocletian and its immediate aftermath. Diocletian was an
emperor of unusual ambition, and his reign saw considerable
military success, an experiment in collegiate government, a move
towards provincial capitals away from Rome, a reorganisation of the
administrative machinery of empire and its finances, and a
committed project to persecute the Christians. In Part I, an
introduction to Diocletian and the world of the late third century
is followed by six thematic chapters covering a range of aspects of
government and society under this emperor, including military,
economic, religious and administrative affairs. These chapters
discuss the original sources, highlight their strengths and
weaknesses, and consider the main scholarly approaches to them.
Throughout Part I there are regular cross references to the source
material which is presented in Part II -- this includes literary,
archaeological, artistic, legal, and documentary evidence, as well
as coins and inscriptions. All texts are in English, and there is a
guide to further reading, a full bibliography, some questions for
consideration, a glossary of technical terms, and a brief list of
relevant online resources.
