<i>The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby</i> is a novel by the Reverend Charles Kingsley, first published in its entirety in 1863. Though some of the author's opinions are very dated now, the journey of a little chimney-sweep water-baby through rivers and storms, under sea and over iceberg, is still a classic, wonderful children's adventure.<br /><br />Summary by Cori Samuel.
