Reader's note

Country House Library is proud to present this beautiful blue and gold edition of 'The Water Babies'. See this Charles Kingsley classic as you've never seen it before! Read as character Tom accidentally runs into a wall - Now running your head against a wall is not pleasant, especially if it is a loose wall, with the stones all set on edge, and a sharp cornered one hits you between the eyes and makes you see all manner of beautiful stars. The stars are very beautiful, certainly; but unfortunately they go in the twenty-thousandth part of a split second, and the pain which comes after them does not. And so Tom hurt his head; but he was a brave boy, and did not mind that a penny. - boundless imagination in this wonderful book! A fine addition to any antique children's library!
