This edition has unique colour illustrations by Margaret Winifred Tarrant The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby is a children's novel by Charles Kingsley. Written in 1862–63 as a serial for Macmillan's Magazine, it was first published in its entirety in 1863. It was written as part satire in support of Charles Darwin's On The Origin of Species.

There he appears to drown and is transformed into a "water-baby", as he is told by a caddisfly—an insect that sheds its skin—and… Read More
