Researching this piece was a wonderful experience. The piece was donated by Angi Perretti. The 'book' reads:

"Once upon a time in the year 1 AD, there lived a princess of royalty who diligently sought the identity of her soul. And it came to pass one day that Princess Angilika became the chosen one. She was granted superpowers from the art gods and traveled through time warps and galaxies with her magic pet swan. They landed upon a tranquil, crystal pond — fulfilling the prophecy of the Almighty Centurion Genie. At this landing spot, his magic spell upon her swan vesture ended, and her magic pet swan was transformed back into an elegant black-necked swan, to ensure the princess‘ unending happiness.

Hence, the angel of her soul was released, and the princess discovered her true identity. From that day forward she became immortal to fulfill the divine prophecy of her destiny and the will of the art gods — to instill artistic inspiration into the hearts of all peoples of all cultures in the third millennium and beyond."
