Overview: A FANTASTIC story in the style of Gulliver’s Travels or Erewhon, but founded upon the marvellous social life of the ants.
A naturalist finds in Central Africa, in a huge ants’ nest, dry leaves bearing curious spots. Another scientist, Timothy Thummel, astounds the world with the theory that they may be a kind of script written by ants themselves. He is confined in a lunatic asylum, where he succeeds in deciphering the hieroglyphics as Chronicles of a prehistoric Ant Race.
A legendary Giant Ant laid the eggs of the primeval ancestors, and commanded them to work incessantly. Social upheavals take place, resulting in two privileged castes being founded—the “Holy-Ants” and the “Lord-Ants.”
The story reaches its climax in the narration of the great Ant World-War, fought between the three principle races on an area of the size of Lincoln’s Inn Fields.
