As a fairly early advocate of the positive medicinal and psychic properties of opium, author Melvin Hix gives us a delightful story, 'The Magic Speech Flower'.
In this story, two young siblings Clark and Fontana Armbrooster come across a wonderful talking flower (an opium poppy). This magic flower tells the kids how to harvest the 'yummy black goodness' found inside the bulb. And how, if eaten will make them '..wise, powerful, and immortal.'
The kids listen to the talking flower and follow his advice. After many ups and downs, Fontana becomes a popular blues singer in a cabaret while Clark learns to play the tenor saxaphone.
FYI: Melvin Hix is the same Melvin Hix we all know from the band 'Melvin Hix and His Hot Lix'.
