It's a peaceful, contemplative life, and the boy is content. Until, that is, a self-styled Professional Visionary arrives and puts up a sign: CONSTANTINE SHIMMER'S GALVANO-MAGICAL END OF THE WORLD TOURS. FUN ALL THE TIME  Soon men with machines come to pave a clearing for the inn and theme park, and the touring children seem nice, but still. . . . M. T.
