About The Book: In Charles Kingsley's "The Water-Babies," we follow Tom, a chimney sweep who undergoes a transformation into a water baby after an incident in a river. Originally conceived as a satire supporting Darwin's "On the Origin of Species," the novel gained popularity in the UK. Tom's experiences on Saint Brendan's Island, guided by fairies, delve into themes of Christian redemption, critique societal mistreatment of the underprivileged and child labor, ultimately leading to his evolution into a "great man of science." The narrative concludes by emphasizing its fantastical nature.
