Scotland's towns are almost unique in Western Europe. They do not derive from Roman models but grew from planned medieval burghs. The first of these were founded by David I in the 12th century and includes towns like Perth, Aberdeen, Elgin, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. This is the first popular synthesis to be attempted of what life was like in these new communities - not simply with regard to houses, clothes and lifestyles but also in relation to the religious houses which played such an important part in their life, the hospitals which treated the sick, and the industries and trade which provided their life blood. Extensive use of reconstruction illustration and photographs combine to create a vivid picture of the bustling nature and wealth of the original new towns.
Tales old and new combine in this colorful collection of stories, specially written with bedtime in mind!

Plongez dans l'univers fascinant des vampires, ces êtres mystérieux qui hantent contes et légendes du monde entier depuis des siècles. De Dracula à Twilight, cet ouvrage dresse le portrait de ces assoiffés de sang...
Las leyendas e historias sobre vampiros son ancetrales y se encuentran en culturas de todo el mudo. Aunque difieran en forma o aspecto, todos tinen algo en común: necesitan la sangre humana paa existir. El vampiro carismático y sofisticao de la ficción moderna nació en 1819 con la pubicación de El Vampiro, un relato de John Polidor; pero es Drácula, escrita por Bram Stoker en 187, la que se considera la novela de vampiros defnitiva y que ha inspirado todo un género. El omanticismo del vampiro, como el del héroe gótic, estriba en su completa soledad. Suya es la tráica belleza del ángel caído, y tiene un poder inmaginable; pero su nefasta debilidad le hace vulerable. Es un héroe en los retratos modernos,desde la saga Crepúsculo de Stephenie Meyer hast la nueva teleserie Crónicas Vampíricas.
