Publisher’s summary
A classic since its first publication in 1863, The Water-Babies is the story of a little chimney sweep named Tom and his magical adventures beneath the waves. The ill-treated Tom flees his dangerous toil and his cruel master, Grimes. When he jumps into a cool stream to clean the soot off himself, he becomes a water-baby, cleaner and happier than he has ever been, in a hidden fairy world. There, Tom meets haughty dragonflies, makes friends with a slow-witted lobster, and dodges hungry otters. Eventually, he meets the other water-babies and their clever rulers, Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid and Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby. After a long and arduous quest to the Other-end-of-Nowhere, young Tom achieves his heart’s desire.

Thanks for this!

My childhood favourite (shame it isn’t my dad reading it) which, in hindsight, is sanctimonious Victorian puritan nonsense which probably played a significant part in my transition to militant atheism.
Thank you!

Kingsley was one of the great Victorian educators and social reformers, and - naturally - he was a committed Anglican.
This book is fascinating for how Kingsley thinks he can oppose child labour, while remaining a kindly tolerance for those who support it. And also for how he sees Creation Science as perhaps untrue, but preferable to having to manage without servants.
Hypatia is even better; Buffalo Bill (from The Silence of the Lambs) would have kept it on his bedside table.
