Among the most popular children's books of the Victorian period,
The Water-Babies continues to delight readers of all ages. It tells
the story of a young boy named Tom, who escapes his harsh life as a
chimney sweep by being transformed into a "water-baby." His
adventures underwater introduce him to strange animals, gentle
fairies, and exotic seascapes, and Kingsley frequently digresses
from the mythical narrative with his commentary on political and
scientific topics. Many of Linley Sambourne's remarkable
illustrations from the 1886 edition are included in the text of the
novel. This Broadview edition reproduces the first edition of The
Water-Babies, published in 1863. The appendices include a broad
selection of other 19th-century children's literature and excerpts
from Kingsley's essays on evolution, hygiene, and education.
