Lillian Gross was a housewife, actress, and mother, who raised her family during the 1950s and 1960s. She was creative in many ways but frustrated in expressing what she had inside. In 1958 she wrote a children's story, "Buzzy the Bungling Bee" and sent it to one publisher who rejected it because there were too many stories about insects that year. And so the manuscript lay for many years in a drawer, never seeing the light of day. Her younger daughter Nancy Star (an author herself) found the manuscript and offered it to Jane, who subsequently decided to present it to the world.
