The Water Babies: Illustrated By Charles Kingsley. On the surface, Charles Kingsley's 'The Water Babies' appears to be a traditional fairy tale complete with fairies, sea-beasts and talking animals.The villains are the neglectful masters, violent schoolteachers and ignorant parents, who create a darkening world of terror from which, the hero Tom must escape by turning into a water baby. However, upon entering a new world of underwater mystery, Tom must re-visit aspects of the human world in new magical forms, in order to correct his own weaknesses and become truly 'clean'.Kingsley's novel is a heavily symbolic and didactic text that conveys horror to the Victorian evils represented through surprising methods of fairytale fiction.
Author and Anglican clergyman Charles Kinglsey (1819-75) took an active interest in the plight of the working class and was a co-founder of England's Christian Socialist movement. In addition to writing novels, poetry, sermons, political essays, and children's stories, Kingsley taught history at Cambridge University, served as chaplain to Queen Victoria and tutor to the Prince of Wales, and was appointed canon of Westminster Abbey. A prominent American artist during the Golden Age of Illustration, Jessie Willcox Smith (1863-1935) contributed to many popular magazines of the era, including Century, Collier's, and Harper's. In the course of her longtime association with Good Housekeeping, she created all of the periodical's covers from 1915 to 1933. Smith illustrated more than 60 books, among them Little Women and A Child's Garden of Verses.
