Lest subscribers think of me as too serious, they should know that
romantic treatments are fine with me. Consider for example one of my
favorite childrens' books:
1984 (paper) NED KELLY & THE CITY OF THE BEES by Thomas Keneally (author
of SCHINDLER'S LIST). David R. Godine, Publisher; Box 9103 Lincoln, MA
01773
ISBN 1-56792-022-5
Ned slipped into a coma --- but actually (for the sake of the story) he
spent a summer in a bee hive in the company of a 120-year-old girl called
Nancy Clancy. To do so, of course, he had to become miniaturized to her
size. A young child can learn much about life in a bee colony by reading
the book.
No, I am sure it was not peer reviewed.
