The Bee-Man of Orn and Other Fanciful Tales: Nine Fantastic Stories for Children

Grade 1-5 -- An aged Bee-man lives contentedly among his insect friends, surviving on honey and the occasional piece of meat, until the day an itinerant Junior Sorcerer informs him he's been transformed and encourages him to discover his "original form." On hearing this disturbing news, the Bee-man sets off. On his quest for his true nature, he rescues a baby from a dragon. His powerful attraction to the infant convinces him that this may be his original form and with the help of senior sorcerers he returns to his babyhood. The final scene describes a now-mature sorcerer, arriving at a small hut swarming with bees and finding, to his amazement, the once-again adult Bee-man. This is a delightful story about destiny. The book include eight other children stories. Some of the other stories are: The Griffin and the Minor Canon, The Queen’s Museum, Christmas Before Last, and The Banished King. It is a pleasure to publish this new, high quality, and affordable edition of these timeless stories.
