Among the most popular childrens books of the Victorian period, The WaterBabies 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 waterbaby. 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 Sambournes remarkable illustrations from the 1886 edition are included in the text of the novel.This Broadview edition reproduces the first edition of The WaterBabies, published in 1863. The appendices include a broad selection of other 19thcentury childrens literature and excerpts from Kingsleys essays on evolution, hygiene, and education.
