Size change in fiction

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Resizing (fiction))

Resizing (including miniaturization, growth, shrinking, and enlargement) is a recurring theme in fiction, in particular in fairy tales, fantasy, and science fiction. Resizing is often achieved through the consumption of mushrooms or toadstools, which might have been established due to their psychedelic properties,[1] through magic, by inherent yet-latent abilities, or by size-changing rays of ambiguous properties.[2]
