Tom, a poor orphan, is employed by the villainous chimney-sweep, Grimes, to climb up inside flues to clear away the soot. While engaged in this dreadful task, he loses his way and emerges in the bedroom of Ellie, the young daughter of the house who mistakes him for a thief. He runs away, and, hot and bothered, he slips into a cooling stream, falls fast asleep, and becomes a water baby. This edition is wonderfully illustrated in colour by Linley Sambourne.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56175717220731,"sku":"10791574","price":14.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_505836_jpg.jpg?v=1774532819","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/charles-kingsleys-the-water-babies-godfrey-macmillan-1979","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
