A Fairy Tale for a Land-Baby

A children’s novel about a young chimney sweep named Tom who falls into a river after encountering an upper-class girl named Ellie and being chased out of her house. He appears to drown, but is transformed into a “water-baby.” Tom soon embarks on a series of adventures and lessons.
