Download or read book THE WATER BABIES A Children s Classic written by Charles Kingsley and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-08-26 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Water-Babies, A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby is a children's novel by Charles Kingsley between 1862–63. It is written as part satire, satirising the events of the period. The book’s protagonist is Tom, a young chimney sweep, who falls into a river after encountering an upper-class girl named Ellie and being chased out of her house. 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 begins his moral education. Tom embarks on a series of adventures and lessons, and enjoys the community of other water-babies on Saint Brendan's Island once he proves himself a moral creature. The major spiritual leaders in his new world are the fairies Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby (a reference to the Golden Rule), Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid, and Mother Carey. Weekly, Tom is allowed the company of Ellie, who eventually becomes a water-baby as well. Grimes, his old master, drowns as well, and in his final adventure, Tom travels to the end of the world to attempt to help the man where he is being punished for his misdeeds. Tom helps Grimes to find repentance, and Grimes will be given a second chance if he can successfully perform a final penance. By proving his willingness to do things he does not like, if they are the right things to do, Tom earns himself a return to human form, and becomes "a great man of science" who "can plan railways, design steam-engines, electric telegraphs, rifled guns, and so forth". He and Ellie are united, although the book states (perhaps jokingly) that they never marry, claiming that in fairy tales, no one beneath the rank of prince and princess ever marries. The book ends with the caveat that it is only a fairy tale, and the reader is to believe none of it, "even if it is true." Initially published in serial form Macmillan's Magazine, it was first published in its entirety in 1863. The story is thematically concerned with Christian redemption, though Kingsley also uses the book to argue that England treats its poor badly, and to question child labour, among other themes. ================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Water Babies, fairy tale, land babies, childrens novel, childrens stories, Charles kingsley, satire, magical, enchanting, adventure, underwater, under sea, dragonfly, Land Babies, Water-Babies, Down To The Sea, Fairies, Tom, St. Brandans Isle, Leap Frog, Jump, Little White Lady, Give Chase, Lizards, Bathe, Old Dame, Cool, Clear Water, Pterodactyles, Cramchild, Queen, Learn, Old Salmon, Wicked, Old Otter, Coasting, Point Of Rock, Champagne, Swam, Buoy, Terns, Lazy Sunfish, Distinguished, Lobster, Professor, Ptthmllnsprts, Wise Man, Leap Frog, Town Clerk, White Sand, Inshore, Fishes, Nursery Maid, Nasty Old Monk, Ellie, Surprise, Warm Springs, Light Summer, Flapdoodle Tree, Eft, Pond, Beasts of the Sea, Grand Old Lady, Quakeress, Good Crow, Water Dog, Jellyfish, Mackerel, Epimetheus, Pandora, Old Mother Shipton, Great Sea serpent, Philosophers, Gotham, Spectacles, Poor Turnip Sun, Mr. Grimes, Bandage, Black Cedars, folklore, fantasy, waterfall, Caddisfly. education, Mrs. Doasyouwouldbedoneby, Golden Rule, Mrs. Bedonebyasyoudid, Mother Carey,

Download or read book MOTHER WEST WIND WHY STORIES 16 Why Stories from Mother West Wind written by Thornton W. (Waldo) Burgess and published by Abela Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2020-12-21 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thornton W. Burgess was a bird-watching, berry-picking student of nature, who took up writing children's stores including those collected in Old Mother West Wind "Why" Stories which were published in 1920. Grandfather Frog is very old and very wise, and he knows all about the days when the world was young. When he is feeling just right, he dearly loves to tell about those long-ago days. "Chug-a-rum!" says Grandfather Frog. And then he told why Peter Rabbit -- and all rabbits -- cannot bend their wrists. In fact, he told a thousand stories, because that's what Grandfather Frog was meant to do. Stories of Rabbits, Chipmunks, Possums, Foxes and more forest animals. Grandfather Frog knows the important stuff about everybody who lives around the meadow. Burgess sets his tales at a time "when the world was young," back when Peter Rabbit's "great-great-ever-so-great grandfather" was a young hopper, and Old Mother Nature still had some work to do on basic designs. She sees that a duck needs webbed feet to swim, and a prairie dog needs a burrow designed to keep dry. Burgess's animals are proud of their unique features and abilities, but the real voice of enthusiasm is the author's own, sharing the delights he found in the woods of New England. Typical of the book's charm is the story of where "Dippy the loon got the name of being crazy." The bird is smarter than he looks -- and that's how Dippy always gets the last laugh. 10% of the profit from the sale of the book will be donated to charities. =================================== Thornton W. (Waldo) Burgess (1874-1965), American author, naturalist and conservationist, wrote popular children's stories including the Old Mother West Wind series (1910). He would go on to write more than 100 books and thousands of short-stories during his lifetime. Thornton Burgess loved the beauty of nature and its living creatures so much that he wrote about them for 50 years in books and his newspaper column, "Bedtime Stories". He was sometimes known as the Bedtime Story-Man. By the time he retired, he had written more than 170 books and 15,000 stories for the daily newspaper column. =================================== KEYWORDS/TAGS: Mother West Wind, why stories, childrens stories, fables, folklore, animal stories, forest stories, children’s book, Striped Chipmunk, Stripes, Peter Rabbit, rabbit Hands, Unc' Billy Possum, Play Dead, Reddy Fox, Red clothes, Jimmy Skunk, Never Hurries, Sammy Jay, Fine Coat, Jerry Muskrat, House In The Water, Old Man Coyote, Miner The Mole, Live Under Ground, Mr. Snake, Cannot Wink, Bobby Coon, Rings On His Tail, Black Head, Buzzard Family, Buster Bear, Appears To Have No Tail, Flitter The Bat, Flies At Night, Spotty The Turtle, Carries His House, Paddy The Beaver, Broad Tail, Forest Feast, Grandfather Frog, stick out his Tongue, Old King Bear, Wish, Wish to fly, Thornton W Burgess,
