Editorial : From Publishers Weekly The strength of this examination of the deadly Beslan school siege by Chechen terrorists in southern Russia is Phillips's reporting. A scholar of the region who has worked as a translator for the BBC, Phillips extensively interviewed victims of the September 2004 siege and other townspeople to give a human face to the tragic incident, in which 1,200 people were held hostage for three days and more than 330 eventually killed.

He has spent time in Beslan researching the book, talking to those involved and those affected, listening to the conspiracy theories, and trying to set the events of September 2004 in their wider context of centuries of conflict and enmity in the Caucasus.

This is magical story filled with romance, adventure and yes, magic.
Lady Roselyn Ravenstock lost her sister and uncle in a tragic accident. Unlike similar "boxes" out there, much of the Hendrix material is in the same format, with the exception of a few mini-posters.
