Ronia, the Robber's Daughter (Swedish: Ronja rövardotter) is a children's fantasy book by the Swedish author Astrid Lindgren, first published in 1981. Ronia is a girl growing up among a clan of robbers living in a castle in the woodlands of early-Medieval Scandinavia. Ronia grows up with Matt's clan of robbers as her only company, until a rival robber group led by Borka moves into the other half of the castle, exacerbating the longstanding rivalry between the two bands. One day, Ronia sees Birk Borkason, the only son of Borka, idling by the chasm.
A young bee hatches into the world on a wonderful spring day. "Welcome to life," her teacher greets her, "we want to call you Linda!" But the new resident of the beehive prefers to be called Maya. She has her own head from the start. She doesn't like the many duties of a bee at all. On the very first excursion, she flies away to explore free life. And she is amazed everywhere.

The old professor Bunzberger sits on a park bench and lets his imagination roam. He is kidnapped by two pensioners in a veteran's home and is prompted to put the finishing touches on a time machine designed by the elderly. First he refuses to take part in the experiment for ethical reasons. He discusses with a kidnapped colleague and friend about the meaning of life and the consequences that stopping aging can have. Finally he gives in and can be rejuvenated with the machine. But he is not satisfied with the result because the rejuvenation has only taken place externally.
