In this sequel to The Adventures of Na Willa (2019), our heroine Na Willa's days are still filled with excitement and simple joys: playing with her friends, reading new books, and singing along to the radio. And now Pak, her father, is back from sea! Pak takes Na Willa to school, goes for ice cream and paints the house. On the way home, I tell Pak all about my friends Asih, Eko and Endang. I tell him about Joko who speaks only Javanese, Gatot who never finishes his sentences, Sumi who cries every time she doesn't finish her colouring, and Sri who is always laughing at her. By the time I finish all these stories, Pak can't stop laughing. And while he rides, just like Mak, Pak loves to sing and make up his own songs. Mak often sings about the flowers in the garden - the roses and jasmine - but Pak makes up a song all about me and my friends. 'Willa, oh Willa, in her new school she has many friends! There is Gatot, Sumi, Ekoooo, Asih, Endang, Sriiiii, and Jokoooo!' Ahhhh, I love Pak's song.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The British country house has long been regarded as the jewel in the nation's heritage crown. But the country house is also an expression of wealth and power, and as scholars reconsider the nation's colonial past, new questions are being posed about these great houses and their links to Atlantic slavery.This book, authored by a range of academics and heritage professionals, grew out of a 2009 conference on 'Slavery and the British Country house: mapping the current research' organised by English Heritage in partnership with the University of the West of England, the National Trust and the Economic History Society.
