The Water-Babies

A young chimney-sweep tumbles into a river and a watery world of wonder in Kingsley’s whimsical Victorian moral fairy tale.

Parent content note

Whimsical and didactic, with Victorian satire throughout. Old-fashioned in places; a few period passages parents may want to preview first.
