The Water Babies (Collins Classics) Paperback – 2 Jan 2012 by Charles Kingsley (Author), english kids

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, 

essential classics.

‘In fact, the fairies had turned him into a water-baby. A water-

baby? You never heard of a water-baby. Perhaps not. That is 

the very reason why this story was written.’

Poor Tom is an orphan, employed by the underhand Grimes as 

a chimney sweep. While cleaning a chimney one day, Tom

 becomes lost and appears in Ellie’s bedroom. She mistakes 

him for a thief and he flees in fright, down to the edge of a 

stream where he falls asleep. In his dreamlike world, he 

becomes a water baby, swimming with the other water babies 

and discovering an aquatic playground full of strange and 

wonderful characters.
