The story follows Tom in his land-life as a climbing boy for a chimney sweep and in his after-life as a water-baby, where he gains redemption from selfishness as well as from drudgery. On top of this fantasy Kingsley grafts a series of digressions and comic asides, through which he comments on a range of contemporary issues.\u003cbr\u003e This is the first edition to explore fully Kingsley's text, its variants, and its iconography, and to annotate the many references which enrich the story.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Broadview Press","offers":[{"title":"Water-Babies (Critical) | Charles Kingsley | Paperback | 9781551117737 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks E 1784201","offer_id":67623041138840,"sku":"1784201","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71MEDxheaeL.jpg?v=1790957786","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/water-babies-critical","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
