What do you find in these two countries at the end of the world? One is an enormous island, where only twenty million people live — and the other is two long, narrow islands, with ten sheep for every person. One country has the biggest rock in all the world, and a town where everybody lives under the ground; the other has a beach where you can sit beside the sea in a pool of hot water, and lakes that are bright yellow, green, and blue. Open this book and start your journey — to two countries where something strange, beautiful or surprising waits around every corner. |

The bride wore a long white dress, with flowers in her hair. After the wedding, there was a party, and people gave presents to the bride and groom. This wedding was nearly two thousand years ago, in Rome. Some things don't change. But some things do. Today you can have a wedding on a mountain, or under the sea, or Elvis can sing for you. And different things happen in different places. Little birds made of paper, small trees, money in the bride's shoe, and lots of noise — they are all important for weddings somewhere. Welcome to the wonderful world of weddings! |

But nobody photographed Kate Middleton on her first day at the university. She moved in quietly, ready to begin her studies in art history. She was just an ordinary student with an ordinary future in front of her. Or was she? |
