The heroine of Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music tells her life story from the music halls of London to Broadway stardom. Over the years Julie Andrews has been much interviewed in the press and on television, but she has never before revealed the true story of her childhood and upbringing.

De Griekse historicus Herodotus (circa 480-430 v.Chr.) heeft veel eretitels gekregen. In de oudheid stond hij al bekend als ‘vader der geschiedenis’ en tegenwoordig noemt men hem eerder ‘vader der journalistiek’ en ‘eerste wereldreiziger’. Zijn indrukwekkende boek Historiën is grensverleggend en letterlijk grensoverschrijdend geweest. In deze hoorcolleges bespreekt classicus en Byzantinoloog Hein van Dolen de methode van Herodotus, zijn bronnen en zijn eigen onderzoekingen, waarbij Herodotus de gewoonten en eigenaardigheden van vreemde volkeren beschreef.

Reviewers called her book "shameless" and "powerful" and its author was simultaneously reviled and cheered.
