Scarlet Hood

Scarlet has just moved to Norway with her parents. She is unhappy at school, where she has become the target of a merciless bully called Angrboda the Cruel. One day, she is given a magical scarlet hood by her grandmother, which allows her to travel back in time to the age of the Vikings and confront a fire-breathing dragon. Her adventures will reveal to Scarlet an inner strength she never knew that she had and teach her about the power of understanding. Scarlet Hood is a heart-warming, stunningly illustrated graphic novel told in striking pictures and simple language that is perfect for reluctant readers.

Academical dress has been worn by students and graduates for hundreds of years and even in this modern time shows no obvious sign of becoming obsolete. Each new university, on receiving its charter, adopts its own distinctive robes. This is an updated and expanded third edition of Dr George Shaw's comprehensive guide to the academical dress of British and Irish universities, produced in accordance with the original author's wishes, and published by the Burgon Society.
