£134.99The Legend of Ratu Kidul - Filip Ceunen
The Legend of Ratu Kidul carries us into the world of Indonesian mythology, on the island of Java:Once upon a time, the Queen of the Southern Seas was a kind and beautiful princess. She was the daughter of Prabu Munding Wangi, the favourite ofthe entire court and the local people. Her royal father doted on his daughter. Her name was Dewi Kadita, but many called her Dewi Srengenge or the Angry Princess.Prabu Munding Wangi longed for an heir, but Dewi Kadita's mother couldn't fulfil thiswish. So he took a second wife, called Poetri Moentiara, who was very jealous of the lovely princess and her mother. She begged the king to banish both her rivals from court. However Prabu Munding Wangi didn't do as she asked. He loved his first wifeand her daughter. The second wife bore him a healthy heir, but the monarch remained firm. So Poetri Moentiara called upon the renowned witch, Djahil. She promised her a princely reward, if Dewi Kandita and her mother were banished. Djahil thought fora moment and incanted this rapal (spell): "May leprosy befall you both". Soon both mother and daughter began to suffer this dreadful disease. According to the law of the land, they were to be banished to the wild forest high on the mountain. With aheavy heart, King Munding Wangi saw the law carried out. So the two set off on their way to the forest, covered in terrible sores. A great sadness fell across the land, except for Poetri Moentiara, the second wife of the king, who had achieved heraim. The princess fell on hard times. In the forest lived a hermit, who took pity on the mother and daughter. The queen couldn't bear the shame and within a few days had died. Now Dewi Kandita was all alone in the world. There was still the hermit,however, who fortunately provided food and shelter in a cave temple. He bound her weeping sores but couldn't relieve her emotional pain. Dewi Kandita became increasingly bitter and eventually left the hermit. She travelled southward from village tovillage, further and further, until eventually she reached the shores of the Southern Sea. She climbed upon a high cliff and gazed out onto the sea that spread before her. She was tempted to dive into the deep green and blue. In the cool waters shewould be able to forget all her pain and suffering. Suddenly awaking from these thoughts, she jumped into the deep. The gods, who had looked on Dewi Kandita throughout her hardships, were filled with deep compassion. So they transformed her into apowerful spirit of the netherworld, Ratu Kidul, and to this day she resides in her grand palace under the sea.

Toy Symphony - Leopold Mozart
Leopold Mozart (1719-1787), an Austrian composer-violinist of German extraction, was the father of the famous Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Leopold Mozart was a creditable composer in his own right, as the "Toy Symphony" amply demonstrates. Bo S. Aers has given the piece a more modern feel and we wonder what Leopold Mozart would make of it now...

£109.99Via Aurelia - Sven Van Calster
The Via Aurelia is a Roman road that runs from Rome to Pisa. The construction of this long route started in the third century BC and was used to reach the town of Cosa (now Ansedonia), which the Romans had founded. From here they could govern the Etruscan regions they had recently conquered. Numerous old castles and historical monuments are to be found along this road. One of them is the Porta S. Pancrazio or Porta Aurelia, in Rome. It was intended both as the starting point of the Via Aurelia and to protect the city and its inhabitants from sea-based attacks. The work entitled Via Aurelia describes the places of interest along this road and the many battles and wars thatwere fought there.
