My review was definitely for the title listed; I always write reviews with the book in front of me. I'm not familiar with the 2nd title you mention "Majestic..." Could it be a different version or edition of the former, it would certainly be worthwhile. Miksic is an authority on Borobudur and I'm sure anything he writes on it would be first class.

I would love to (not actually, of course given the brutality of the times but perhaps as a butterfly on the wall). I've been reading as much as I can find on Sicilian history before my upcoming trip there in October, and as a result have become embroiled in the history of Italy and the Mediterranean, the Ottoman Empire, late 15/early 16C Spain under Isabella & Ferdinand, etc. etc. Isn't this the beauty of good books?! Venice and Genoa have always figured within my interests (pre-modern China because of the various trade contacts) so it was a natural extension in many ways just as I was looking for one.

A children's mystery for 8 to 11-year-olds that is set in today but the heroine (and her two younger twin brothers) travel back in time to ancient China to solve.
