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   No, I am sure it was not peer reviewed.
