When a lonely little boy is given a pink toy donkey something magical happens. The donkey comes to life and a marvelous adventure begins.

Skwidge is a young squirrel who was born without a tail. Unhappy with being laughed at because he can't jump or do things the other squirrels do, he decides to run away from home and find himself a tail. Along the way he meets other woodland creatures with different tails - like Justlee Proud, the peacock and Bea Iggeers, the rabbit - who try to help him.
Just when things seem hopeless, Skwidge comes to the rescue of a baby beaver and realizes that being without a tail doesn't make him less of a squirrel.

Dynamic Splendor introduces a cycle of sixth-century mosaics little known to scholars, though they are comparable in quality and interest to famed mosaics in Italy and elsewhere. Ann Terry and Henry Maguire provide the first comprehensive account of the history and meaning of the mosaics along with the first high-quality photographic documentation of the ensemble.

It has only recently been possible to study the mosaics at Poreč closely, due to favorable conditions in Croatian Istria, where the mosaics reside, and to the discovery of the original restoration documents in Vienna and Trieste. Terry and Maguire have tracked the condition and restoration of these works, distinguishing between the original mosaics and later contributions. Beyond creating an important archival source, the authors consider the making of the mosaics, their thematic structure, their relationship to the cathedral complex, and their connection to the patron, Bishop Eufrasius, while drawing parallels with other renowned works.
