A wonderfully imaginative and enriching children's book
21. August 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
Many years ago I gave this book to my former elementary school teacher; I was happy to find out later that she read it to every generation of students until she retired.
Waldemar Bonsels masterfully crafted a book in which the insect world is a metaphore/allegory of the humans'. Its stories are about compasion, love, loss, loyalty, heroism, life and death, even ethics, and maybe provide the reader with a better understanding of the world's diversity.
Maya's story starts from the moment the little bee is born. Although she was supposed to be a working bee, she is too inquisitive to be satisfied with that, so she leaves the beehive to learn more about the world. Every creature she encounters and every experience, good or bad, seem to bring a bit of wisdom into little Maya's mind and eventually into the reader's.
This is a book that was written almost a century ago in Europe, yet it's as great a read today as it was the first day it was published. It's a book rich in many ways: the stories are fascinating, endearing, meaningful and told in a form that is intellectually evolved enough to be enjoyed by an adult, yet very accessible to a child's level of comprehension. I read this book first when I was 8 and had fun reading it again at 38.
Maya the Bee seems to be a much more popular character in Europe. I always wondered why, although published here a long time ago, this book never became popular in the States. Then again, at the time Maya was spreading her wings in Europe, Disney was begining to captivate the imagination of children on this side of the Atlantic.
Oooh, the power of marketing...

Nostalgic Feelings of my Parents
24. März 2009
Format:Taschenbuch
I know that Maya The Bee was popular in Europe. My Father gave it to my Mother in 1927 at the onset of their 10-year courtship. I was born in 1942 and remember the book - showing signs of much handling over the years by my Mother who told me she read and re-read it during the years she and Papa were apart before marriage. Mama read it to me when I was not even 5 years old. I cherish this memory, knowing now that it was tangible yet symbolic proof of my Father's devotion. He was a revered professor of psychology and linguist (spoke 20 languages) and my Mother was all about music, art and theatre and taught vocal and piano. She spoke 5 languages. In Greece we had this advantage - the many languages. I learned English through her readings of A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh, etc. and was also given - over the years - wonderful books: "The Christmas Anna Angel", a series called "The Root Children" and also a series known as "Under the Magic Umbrella". My mother was very magical and light-hearted and very wise. My Father was all about the mind! He felt we were "wasting time", whenever we displayed the least bit of frivolity. So, how can it "bee" that this erudite man could have gifted "Maya the Bee"? He was 35 at the time! Well, I know. He saw the wisdom within those pages and the poetry and allegory that he dismissed earlier were brought out in him upon meeting my Mother. I will now be purchasing "Maya the Bee" for my 10 grandchildren - the great grandchildren of my beloved parents whom they never met but know through my ceaseless tales.
