«La città delle api» is Thomas Keneally's children's novel, published by Feltrinelli (158 pages, in Italian).
Ned Kelly is admitted to the hospital with appendicitis and, after tasting a drop of nectar that a bee deposits on his lips, shrinks to the size of an insect. He spends the summer in Selma's hive, where he meets Nancy Clancy, a 120-year-old girl who speaks only in rhyme, and a worker bee fond of radio serials.
The 2000 edition belongs to the Feltrinelli Kids children's collection.
Recommended for young readers ages 9 and up, especially those who enjoy fantastical adventures featuring animals.
