Hi, everyone.

   You might want to buy a book about bees for some child you know (and,
no, I don't get a commission!):

NED KELLY & THE CITY OF THE BEES, by Thomas Keneally (author of
"Schindler's List"), is "a story of how Ned Kelly spent a summer in a bee
hive, in the company of120-year-old girl named Nancy Clancy and the bees of
Selma's kingdom.

   So far I have not found this book in any local bookstore or chain, but
one can obtain it from the publisher:

David R. Godine
Box 9103
Lincoln, Massachusetts  01773

(Your local bookstore can probably furnish you an 800 number for that company.)

   I found this fantasy charming and suitable most likely for children 8
years and older.
