Reader's note

An eye-catching edition of Charles Kingsley's The Water Babies with striking patterned boards wrapped in a vibrant orange dust-jacket! This is a vintage edition from 1963 and has beautiful coloured illustrations by Rosalie K. Fry. This 'fairy tale for a land-baby' was written nearly a hundred years ago, but its freshness had endured and will endure, to all seeming, for another hundred years or more. It is with the freshness of morning that it begins, as the little sweep's boy Tom tramps up out of the grim West Riding mill-town before the rest of the world is awake to do a job of work in the chimneys of Harthover Hall in Vendale, the real-life original of which was somewhere between Malham Cove and Gordale Scar.
